Ocean-Preferred Products

Picture
What does “Ocean Preferred” mean?
Ocean Preferred is a selection of yard care (fertilizer, herbicide & pesticide) brands that are less harmful to our marine environment.

How were the products chosen?
Ocean Preferred brands were selected based on EPA guidelines for toxicity and environmental hazards and must pose the lowest level of risk. Many comply with USDA’s organic standards as measured by OMRI (omri.org), the Organic Materials Review Institute. We also considered the products’ mobility in soil; those that have fewer active ingredients that can leach out of the root zone will contribute less to water pollution.
