About MIANEF

Statement of Purpose

To promote boating and the safe use and enjoyment of healthy waterways in Northeast Florida, to convey reliable information about the marine industry and related issues to its membership and the general public, and support the interests of those involved in the marine trades and associated industries. We will work to raise funds to support programs conducted by charitable, educational, and scientific organizations that support the purpose of the Marine Industries Association of Northeast Florida (MIANEF).

Philosophy

The MIANEF believes that by encouraging and supporting the owners and operators of marine related businesses and organizations to work together for a common goal, and by raising funds for programs that educate young people and the public regarding safe boating, healthy waterways, and the marine sciences, we will strengthen the northeast Florida Marine Industry. We recognize that safe and healthy waterways and preservation of our ecosystem are necessary for the industry to thrive.
