2 Outline What is Resiliency? Background on Clean and Resilient Marina Initiative Elements of the Clean and Resilient Marina Initiative Florida Examples of Resilient Marina BMPs Questions
3 What Is Resilience? Resilience is the capacity of human, natural and physical systems to adapt to and recover from change. Gulf of Mexico Alliance Coastal Community Resiliency Team
4 Community Resiliency Every $1 spent in mitigation saves $4 after a disaster * * Natural Hazard Mitigation Saves. MultiHazard Mitigation Council & National Institute of Building Sciences
5 How Did the Initiative Begin? GOMA Governor s Action Plan, Sub action 5 Promote and expand resilient and environmentally responsible operations and best management practices at marinas Standardize Resilient practices across the Gulf States Goal: Coastal marinas adopt more resilient and environmentally responsible operations and volunteer to become certified Clean & Resilient Marinas
6 Resilient Marina Initiative Background GOMA Multi-state partnership Enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf Priority Issue Teams (PITs): Coastal Community Resilience Water Quality, Habitat Conservation and Restoration Ecosystem Integration and Assessment Nutrients & Nutrient Impacts Environmental Education. Resilient Marina Initiative Coastal Community Resilience PIT GOMA s Governors Action Plan
7 Mitigating Marina Impacts Reduce Risk to Life and Personal Injury During evacuation While securing marina During hazards Reduce Property Damage Wet slip damage Dry rack damage Boat damage Displacement of boats Bulkhead erosion Resume Operations Quickly
8 What did we Build on?
9 Action Items and Milestones Formed Task Force Mapped Coastal Marinas & Certified Clean Marinas Surveyed Marinas Researched and Compiled Resources Developed User-Friendly Guidance Documents Created Outreach and Education Materials
