The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas condemns the violent and unlawful actions taken yesterday at the U.S. Capitol.
 
As a marine trade association, our mission is to bring together people and businesses from across North America in support of a strong and healthy boating industry. We welcome differences of opinion, background and experience, as they strengthen our businesses, our industry and our society, and we collaborate with a diverse range of groups and organizations on our path to fulfill a common mission.

Our nation is so much better than what occurred yesterday. We must do better. Americans of all walks must come together, and learn the value of differing viewpoints and do so with one another peacefully so that, together, we may address the most pressing concerns we face.
 
We look forward to working with President-elect Biden’s administration, all U.S. Congressional leaders and boating business professionals across North America as we continue to serve as a powerful voice for marine retailers, promoting sound business policies, healthy fisheries, and the interests of the recreational boating industry.

About the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas

At the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, we believe that for the marine industry to thrive, the retail organizations that interact with the boaters in their community must thrive. With that in mind, MRAA works to create a strong and healthy boating industry by uniting those retailers, providing them with opportunities for improvement and growth, and representing them with a powerful voice.
