On November 9, 2023, members of Congress and their staff heard from ASA Atlantic Fisheries Policy Director Mike Waine about how a proposed rule could severely restrict boating access along the Atlantic Seaboard.

Waine's presentation was part of a briefing put together by the bipartisan Congressional Boating Caucus.
