Water Access
Water access is being challenged by non-water dependent development all across the country. Current boaters are finding it more difficult to use their boats, and with access points in jeopardy or rapidly decreasing, the threat to future boat sales is also becoming a reality. Protecting and improving water access for the nation’s boaters is a key piece of NMMA’s government relations mission.
