It looks like the new Infrastructure bill, just signed by President Biden today, has some good stuff for boaters. From BOAT/US:
"The biggest payoff for boaters with the IIJA comes the reauthorization of the “Sport Fish Restoration, Recreational Boating Safety, and Wildlife Restoration Act of 2021,” which provides funding for state-based conservation programs, boating safety, aquatic resources education, pumpout, derelict vessel, fisheries management and restoration."
"IIJA also provides funds to US Army Corps of Engineers and other water-resource projects, including inland waterways construction, flood control, resiliency, watershed rehabilitation, aquatic ecosystem restoration, invasive species control, marine debris removal, and inland and coastal navigation projects — all good things to any boater’s or angler’s ear."
LONG overdue action on these problems. It will take years for this to play out, but the result will be long-term improvements.
