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.
