There is a very important issue that all boaters need to be aware of. There is a Clean Boating Act that must be passed by September 30th in Congress if we are to protect the future of boating. This act, if passed would require every recreational boater to obtain permits before using their boat. A good resource is boatblue.org – where they explain that although many of us want to protect the environment from useless dangers of commercial marine practices, the same rules don’t always apply to recreational boaters. Read up and voice your opinion! We know how much influence commercial interests can have in passing laws of Congress – lets make sure the recreational boating world is heard.
