Survey Results from the Pumpout Washington Campaign Northwest Marina & Boatyard Conference, Nov 10, 2011 Aaron Barnett, Washington Sea Grant Washington Boaters and Marine Sewage Pumpouts

Outline Share what we found out from boaters that relates to marina and boatyard operators. Present what marina operators had to say about pumpout equipment and the Clean Vessel Act Program. Discussion

Pumpout Washington Campaign Educate Washington boaters about the harmful effects of raw sewage and raise their awareness of the benefits of using pumpouts. Accomplishments Thousands of boaters reached through a science based, multi- pronged and highly interactive campaign in partnership with Puget Soundkeeper Alliance Developed statistical baseline regarding boaters’ attitudes & behaviors.

The Clean Vessel Act Matching Grant Program Created in response to concerns about the environmental impacts of raw sewage from recreational boaters. A “grossly inadequate” number of pumouts available (U.S. Senate, 1992) pumpout stations for 436 marinas in Chesapeake Bay. Over 5,500 pumpout stations funded in 28 states by CVA since Over 4 million gallons of sewage pumped out in WA in 2010.

“successful but hard to measure” Research Question In Washington State, have awareness and access conditions-of use – imposed on grant participants (marina operators) – influenced boater behavior towards the Program’s objective of pollution inputs reduction?

Methodology CVA $$ Comes from Sport Fish Restoration Trust Fund

Population

Access, Awareness & Operations 1.Do boaters find pumpouts accessible or convenient? 2.Are boaters aware of the CVA Symbol and illegality of discharge? 3.Do boaters think pumpouts are easy to use and usually find them working?

Awareness of the CVA Symbol 78% (488 of 627) of the boaters surveyed said they know that this symbol refers to sewage pumpouts.

Awareness of the Illegality of Overboard Discharge 88.5% (562 of 633) of boaters surveyed are aware that it is illegal to discharge within three miles of coastlines.

Awareness of Environmental Impact 82% (579 of 630) agreed when asked if untreated sewage can harm the environment. 71% (439 of 619) of respondents disagreed when asked if sewage from boats is biodegradable and generally harmless.* *an awareness of sewage as nutrient matter subject to breakdown (biodegradable; requiring the consumption of oxygen).

Access Are pumpouts usually open? 61% Agreed they are usually open when they want to use them. Are pumpouts are conveniently located? 64% Agreed they are conveniently located.* *Marina Specific? Bethel, CA

Operations 72% agreed that they are easy-to-use. 71% agreed that they usually work. 69% agreed that pumpouts work better today than in the past. 77% said no when asked if they use pumpouts because they usually found them out-of-order.

Marina Operators 64% Public (23) 36% Private (13) 90% have a pumpout station. 73% (24 of 33) are CVA funded, 27% said no, 3 unanswered (don’t know?).

65% Free 16% < $5 19% > $5

93% Agree

Conclusions Wa boaters have a high level of awareness of the availability of pumpouts and the environmental impacts of dumping raw sewage. Overwhelmingly feel it’s the right thing to do. Less positive response regarding access -- room for improvement. Behavioral change as a direct result of campaigns is hard to measure. Pumpout equipment has improved.

How Does This Relate to Marina Operators? “If you build it they will come” ~ unknown A pumpout will get used if the boating public knows where it is, if it works, is accessible and affordable.
