- Abstract
This article discusses the implementation of green infrastructure (GI) practices at Great Lakes marinas to improve stormwater management and reduce pollution. Many marinas in the region generate pollutants through boat maintenance and repair activities, which can be carried into nearby waters by stormwater runoff. GI practices such as bioretention, constructed treatment wetlands, and permeable pavements can help mitigate these issues. The article describes a collaborative project between Sea Grant programs and marinas in Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin to implement GI and conduct applied research. The project resulted in increased awareness, educational materials, and monitoring of the impact of GI practices on stormwater volumes and pollutant concentrations.
