Editorial Policy & Disclaimer
This page explains how MuskegonWaterfront.com is written, how factual claims are sourced, and how corrections are handled.
This Editorial Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use & Disclaimer.
Independence
- No advertising.
- No sponsorships.
- No affiliate links.
- No paid placements.
No filters here. No outside business, tourism group, or organization pays for or directs what's published here. The goal is practical, experience-based information about local waterfront living, written the way a neighbor would explain it.
If any of this ever changes, this page will be updated to say so, and any relevant relationship will be disclosed.
How pages are written
Content is built from two inputs:
- Direct experience living in Muskegon-area waterfront communities.
- Primary sources when a claim depends on data (EPA, EGLE, USGS, NOAA, universities, municipal documents, and similar sources).
Sources and citations
When a page includes a specific number, date, regulation, tax detail, water-quality claim, or official status, the intent is to link directly to a primary source whenever practical.
If you spot a claim that should be sourced but isn’t, please email editor@muskegonwaterfront.com with the page URL and what you think needs support.
Photos and Copyright
Unless otherwise noted, photos on this site are original images I personally took around the Muskegon waterfront. They are used to show real local places, conditions, and context, and may not be copied, reused, or republished without permission.
Updates and corrections
Waterfront conditions change - dredging, water levels, ordinances, policies, and even public data. If something is outdated or incorrect, it will be corrected.
Corrections are easiest when you include:
- The exact page URL
- The sentence or section in question
- A reliable source, or enough detail to locate one

You should verify material facts independently - including HOA documents, permits, dock rights, ordinances, assessments, and current waterfront conditions - before relying on them.
