Our Harbors
Our Certified Clean Harbors and Pledged Communities
Certified Harbors
To become a certified Alaska Clean Harbor, a facility must implement best management practices that help to prevent pollution and reduce waste at their facility. They must be pro-active in communicating with their customers and dedicated to providing services and assistance to their staff and boaters to protect water quality. We know that drips and spills will still happen, but through working with Alaska Clean Harbors, we believe that these harbors are making change and improving our water quality and the quality of our harbors.

Pledged Harbors
Communities That Have Signed The Pledge
Support from the community is one of the first steps to becoming a certified Alaska Clean Harbor. The vast majority of marinas/harbors in Alaska are publicly owned and operated. As such, we look to the City or Borough to sign on to the pursuit of Clean Harbor certification. Below is a list of our pledged harbors, with a link to their resolutions of support (as available) or additional information about the harbor.
