Direct marina patrons as to the proper disposal of all liquid materials through the use of signs.

Use signs to mark where collection facilities are located, the type of material each is designed to collect, and any special requirements. In the designated cleaning areas, post descriptive signs that explain why environmentally compatible materials are preferred and that any hazardous material should be used in a way that minimizes impact on the environment.

Use signs to mark special hazards, such as flammability or toxicity on collection containers. These markings will be especially useful to emergency crews, such as the local fire department, during an emergency response.
