SECTION D: PUBLIC OUTREACH AND PERFORMANCE REPORTING

D.1 Please briefly describe the activities that your facility conducted during the year to interact with the community on environmental issues and to report publicly on environmental performance.

Sun Country Marine West is one property of many within the Forever Resorts family of properties which are a part of the EPA's Performance Track program. During the year, we participate along with our corporate and other sister-properties in multple venues at which the Performance Track logos and certificates are proudly displayed and discussed with employees and the public.

Our Performance Track Certificate is displayed on the wall of our front lobby at Sun Country Marine.

As part of our new employee orientation and training, each new employee is educated on Sun Country Marine and Forever Resorts dedication to positive environmental stewardship and environmental causes. Each is encouraged to consider new ways to help us become even better stewards of the natural environment, better ways to conserve energy, and better ways to reduce our waste streams.

The Performance Track logo is also displayed on our web sites and on each electronic montly newsletter, as a reminder of our commitment to continue to find ways to improve our environmental efficiency and to reduce our carbon footprint.
