This revamped program not only strengthens environmental standards but also introduces more flexible criteria for certification, ensuring that harbors maintain high levels of cleanliness while being more accessible to smaller or more remote communities.

The program’s rejuvenation has garnered attention in the news, highlighting its importance in safeguarding Alaska’s coastal environments and promoting responsible maritime practices. This renewed focus underscores the program's commitment to reducing pollution and supporting local economies, while showcasing Alaska's leadership in harbor management and environmental stewardship.
