Welcome to the Boating Environmental Forum!

We'll be blogging with you about issues, such as invasive species, water quality and costs, that affect boating experiences, such as clean water, fish to catch, birds to watch, vessel speeds, access to slips and boating areas, etc..

We'll share the results of our research, cover up-and-coming issues, and ask you to weigh in on various questions.

Question #1: When you think about boating sustainability, what comes to mind? What would you really miss if it were absent from the boating experience?

Please tell us if you own a boat, run a boating business or facility, or just enjoy the coast or shore, and the city and state where you connect with boating, so we know who's in the conversation and where it's happening.

I look forward to hearing from you!
