According to Ward J. LeRoy Dictionary of Project Management Terms, Arlington, VA., ESI Interantional 2008, “a project is a temporary undertaking to create a unique product or service”. Due to their temporary and unique nature, all projects have an inherent complexity and risk. 

Marina projects in particular, can be quite complex because they include waterfront development, construction of commercial and leisure marine facilities, navigational and safety assessments, as well as environmental studies. 

They also require liaising with Local Authorities and Governmental / Licensing Agencies to acquire the relevant licenses and assure compliance with state and international laws. These are time consuming processes which can jeopardize the whole endeavor, if not addressed properly. 

This multifarious nature of marina projects make them high risk and require the implementation of best project management practices to ensure that time and resources are used most effectively to meet the project requirements or scope.
