Legislative Advocacy
MIASF carefully monitors, comments, supports or challenges government regulations or legislation that it has determined may have an impact on South Florida's recreational marine industry on the local, state and national levels. The Government Relations Committee, Board of Directors and the Association's government relations representatives in Florida's capital Tallahassee and in Washington D.C. are focused on a wide variety of issues to ensure that marine businesses are protected, or can benefit from governmental policies or actions.

Your company will appear in two business classifications in the Annual MIASF Membership Directory, as well as on our website www.miasf.org - Thousands of visitors to the website and thousands of directories are produced and distributed annually to help your business grow.
Meetings & Networking Opportunities

MIASF is the Proud Owner of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
MIASF is the owner of the largest boat show in the world. The show focuses a spotlight on our South Florida marine industry, and brings thousands of qualified buyers to the area each year - MIASF's ability to lead an aggressive and innovative agenda on behalf of the membership and industry is in part as a result of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
