There are
22,000 licensed boats in Sonoma County.
Imagine if every one leaks just a little
oil?
Clean boating tips:
Never use soaps or detergents to clean oil
or fuel. Soaps emulsify oil, breaking it
into invisible droplets that disperse
through the water. Adding soap is ILLEGAL
and bad for the environment.
Practice good preventive engine maintenance.
Keep engines well-tuned and operating at
peak efficiency. Inspect fuel lines, hoses,
hydraulic lines, valves, oil seals, gaskets
and connections for leaks and deterioration.
Make sure hoses are the correct length and
secured to avoid kinking and chafing.
Place absorbents sheets, pads or pillows in
drip pans under the engine and other areas
to catch oil drips and spills
To assist in keeping your boat clean, the
Sonoma County Waste Management Agency is
providing free absorbent pads
distributed through the following locations:
Spud Point Marina Fuel Dock
1818 Westshore Rd. Bodega Bay
Mason's Marina
1820 Westshore Rd. Bodega Bay
