Starting today, MRAA and other representatives of the recreational boating industry will convene in Washington DC for the annual American Boating Congress. ABC is the industry’s primary political and legislative gathering, where all sectors of recreational boating work for three full days to present a unified front to congress on the critical issues impacting our industry. Top issues this year will include addressing the workforce crisis in the marine industry, getting the Modern Fish Act passed, and stopping the year-round sale of E15.
