The Irish Marine Federation (IMF) will gather in Portlaoise for its annual general meeting this Friday (March 24th)
A new National Marina Survey and a rejuvenated IMF Conference are on the table for the trade body this year.
Over the last two years, the marine leisure trade body played an important role in the advisory group for the National Marine Planning Framework that has established new jurisdiction for marine planning in Ireland.
IMF Chairman Jonathan Moneley of Carlingford Marina hopes to encourage new membership applications to the IMF, and to broaden the scope of the businesses that are represented by the federation.
“The board of the IMF is made up of marina managers, chandlers and yacht brokers, among others – and we would encourage any business with a vested interest in marine resources and recreational boating to get involved,” he told Afloat.
The IMF agm begins at 11 am in the Maldron Hotel in Portlaoise.
