Clean Marina
About Florida Clean Marina Programs
The Florida Clean Marina Program is a voluntary designation program with a proactive approach to environmental stewardship. Participants receive assistance in implementing Best Management Practices through on-site and distance technical assistance, mentoring by other Clean Marinas and continuing education. To become designated as a Clean Marina, facilities must implement a set of environmental measures designed to protect Floridas waterways. These measures address critical environmental issues such as sensitive habitat, waste management, stormwater control, spill prevention and emergency preparedness. Designated facilities and those facilities seeking designation receive ongoing technical support from the Florida Clean Marina Program and the Clean Boating Partnership.
Burial at Sea
A burial at sea is a time-honored tradition offering a dignified and simple alternative to a conventional funeral, and a peaceful resting place for your loved one. Whatever your maritime funeral desire, Fish-Tale Marina works with you to plan a special event. For those families wishing to plan their own memorial voyage, we provide the vessel and crew. Then you select the time, place and arrangements and invite up to 25 guests. We work closely with you to make this a fitting memorial occasion, carefully evaluating your needs and desires to insure a safe, comfortable and memorable day. After the ash scattering the exact GPS position of the burial ceremony is recorded. This information is used to complete the memorial certificate which will be sent to the family. Please call (239) 463-3600 for further information and rates.
