Take Action: Urge Congress to Protect Boating Access in WRDA 2026

Showcasing American Manufacturing and Access to Public Waters.

Access is the foundation of recreational boating, but aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance, and outdated policies are making it harder for boaters to get on the water.

Congress has an opportunity to help through the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA), bipartisan legislation that guides how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages and invests in the nation’s water resources infrastructure.

Both the House and Senate have advanced WRDA bills that recognize recreation as a core Corps mission. Key provisions would help modernize policies for marinas and recreation businesses, improve information about public access points, and support greater reinvestment in recreation infrastructure.

Boaters and industry stakeholders can help keep these priorities in the final bill. Visit Boating United to urge your members of Congress to pass WRDA 2026 with strong recreational boating provisions.
