Services Provided/Benefit to State: |

|
|
|
|

|
Fernandina Harbor Marina is gateway to Florida, being the first Florida harbor encountered by out of state boaters, hosting a steady stream of national and international visitors. As the state Marine Welcome Center, it will provide visitors with an enhanced facility which will offer fixed and portable pumpout services and information on the Clean Vessel and Clean Marina program. Taken as a whole, the Marina Welcome Center will become a living exhibit, offering a complete look at Florida's past and present, foster an understanding of Florida's history from the maritime perspective, and educate boaters about Florida's efforts to preserve its environmental resources and endangered species. |
