SMD believes that marinas share the waterfront with the community in which they exist, and that is essential to become an active and cooperative citizen of that community. SMD is proficient in developing positive working relationships with local, state and federal regulatory agencies. We have extensive experience with the permitting process required by the Corp of Engineers, the EPA, State Departments of Conservation and Transportation and other regulatory bodies.

SMD managed marinas were among the first Certified Green Marinas in Florida and Wisconsin.

SMD managed marinas work to educate boaters in environmentally sound practices.
