Member Question:  I'm hearing rumors of closing the waterways to boats and boaters? 

Answer: In some areas there are restrictions.  On today's Recreational Boating Leadership Council (RBLC) call, this was discussed at length and like the curve of the virus itself, more restrictions may follow. We will keep you posted.

• Florida just announced further restrictions after closing boat ramps and public marinas on a county by county basis.  Late this afternoon the Marine Industries of South Florida (MIASF) reported that only boats with commercial fishing licenses would be allowed to go out from Marinas.  Private docks were not impacted.  However this is fluid
  
• Maryland's DNR provided further Guidance
• Newport Harbor issued a quarantine order for arriving watercraft
• Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) put out some helpful information Here.
