TOPEKA - Boaters and fisherman are encouraged to visit their local marinas over the weekend of Aug. 14-15 to celebrate the third annual National Marina Day.

"National Marina Day is an annual celebration of the important role marinas play in waterfront communities all across America," says Cheri Swayne, Kansas Wildlife and Parks boating education coordinator. "Each day, this country's marinas serve as safe, family-friendly gateways for boaters and provide services to help keep lakes clean. We hope folks will visit the state's marinas, learn about local marinas, and enjoy the events they have planned."

Americans need clean, safe, and relaxing leisure-time locations. National Marina Day reminds the boating community that a marina is a local, environmentally-friendly destination serving as a gateway for family and friends to enjoy one of America's great natural resources - its waterways.

National Marina Day is celebrated in conjunction with the Marina Operators Association of America in Washington, DC, the national trade association of the marina industry.
