The Florida Clean Boater Program seeks to educate
boaters on the importance of protecting the state’s waterways by
adopting environmentally friendly practices, including proper
trash management, using bilge socks and fueling collars, and
practicing good recycling habits. Boaters are encouraged to take
the Clean Boater Pledge and educate other boaters on the
importance of protecting the environment they enjoy.
By adopting pollution prevention measures, Florida Clean
Boaters can take satisfaction in knowing they are doing
their part in keeping Florida waterways clean and preserving our
waterways for the future.
