week, Paul Skawinski presented at the Wisconsin Marine Association conference. He kicked off a special session for University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes Clean Marinas Program with an engaging talk on how marinas can establish native plant gardens - a key action that earns them points toward Clean Marina certification.

Paul is on the Extension Lakes team at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point's UWSP College of Natural Resources and is the Statewide Educator for the Citizen Lake Monitoring Network.

We’re proud to share that Anchor Point Marina has officially earned Wisconsin Clean Marina Program certification!

Keeping the Wolf River and our marina healthy is a team effort, and we’re incredibly grateful to our staff, members, and visiting boaters who help make that happen. As we move forward, we hope you’ll continue joining us in protecting this beautiful place we all enjoy—whether that’s picking up a stray trash, keeping docks tidy, disposing of fishing line, cleaning up pet waste, or just being mindful on the water.
Here’s to cleaner water, healthier habitats, and many more great days on the river!
