Why Does the Marine Industry Need MATES?

With the launch of the Grow Boating Initiative (GBI), the marine industry is poised for growth. As an industry, we must become more efficient and productive in order to keep in check the rising costs of doing business, lower the cost barriers for boaters and keep the boating industry competitive in a crowded recreation market. Implementation of MATES standards will ensure that the marine industry can manage its growth and fully capitalize on the opportunities the GBI is creating.
