National
Marina Day
Celebrating America's Gateway to Boating
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 In
1928, the word "marina" was used, for the very first time, by the
National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers to define a
recreational boating facility. Since then, marinas have become an
integral part not only of American recreation, but also American
life. National Marina Day 2008 celebrates not only the rich history
of the marina industry, but its bright future as well.
Mission and Method
The goal of National Marina Day is the education of politicians,
civic leaders and the public about the important role the marina
industry plays in cities and towns across the nation as
family-friendly gateways to boating and stewards of the environment.
This goal is achieved through the promotion of nationwide marina
focused events with local flavor that educate politicians, civic
leaders, and the public about the value of the marina industry to
cities and towns across America. Make plans today to support this
mission by planning a National Marina Day event at your facility.
