Clean Marina Survey 2013 Anna Townshend Marina Dock

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.
