🌊 Clearer information means better access to America’s public waters. NMMA applauds passage of the bipartisan MAPOceans Act, which will modernize federal marine data and make information about access, navigation, fishing regulations and waterway restrictions easier for boaters and anglers to find and use. 🚤🎣 The legislation also advances NMMA’s Waterways Access Initiative to protect and improve Americans’ ability to enjoy the nation’s public waters. 👏 NMMA thanks Senators Ted Cruz and Angus King and Representatives Russell Fry and Mike Levin for championing the legislation.

Access to the water starts with the infrastructure that makes it possible. With a $40 billion maintenance backlog across federal lands, Congress must act to protect and expand access to the places where millions of Americans boat, fish and enjoy the outdoors. NMMA urges the recreational boating community to contact Congress today and call for passage of the bipartisan America the Beautiful Act. Together, we can strengthen recreation infrastructure, support local economies and preserve reliable access to public lands and waters for generations to come.
