MIATC, chartered in 1974, is a not-for-profit trade association comprised of members in Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin and Okeechobee counties who are dedicated to promoting and protecting marine interests. The organization is directed by a volunteer board of directors, which employs an executive director and one part-time employee.

MIATC supports the protection and preservation of our coastal, inland and ocean water resources and the right to waterway access. This is accomplished through:

• Education of our members, the boating public, legislators, government, and the media
  
• Support of the Clean Marina/Clean Boatyard Program
  
• Lobbying
