Peter is joined by Melissa Danko (Executive Director of the Marine Trades Association of New Jersey), David Dickerson (Vice President and State Government Relations Director at the National Marine Manufactures Association), and David Kennedy (Director of Government Affairs for the Boat Owners Association of the United States). They discuss the importance of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway for recreational boaters and the value that recreational users bring to the broader economy of the Nation. Hint, its not a small contribution! And, they talk about the wonderful access to nature afforded when traveling the AIWW.
