U.S. Representatives bring vessel speed restriction concerns to House hearing

Last week, Representatives Bill Posey (R-FL) and Mike Collins (R-GA) voiced concerns in a U.S. House of Representatives hearing over the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s proposed vessel speed restrictions along the Atlantic Coast. This came on the heels of the American Boating Congress (ABC) in Washington, D.C., where the proposed expansion of NOAA’s vessel speed restriction, and the impacts on the $230 billion recreational boating industry, were a main focus.
