Clean Marina Survey 2013

Anna Townshend,Marina Dock Age editor

Why Surveys?

• Not a lot of marina data out there!

• Overall, those outside the industry, especially investors, need benchmarks and numbers for comparison.

• For those inside the industry, you can gauge the overall health of the industry/program.• Gauge your own health, in comparison to others.

Be an advocate for the marina industry data! MDA surveys are conducted online, and can be found in e-newsletters and our website.

If you do not receive our surveys by email, please see me, or email me at atownshend@marinadockage.com.
