The Marina Association of Texas (MAT), a nonprofit, volunteer organization composed of marinas on the inland and coastal waters of Texas, as well as associate members whose firms supply products and services to marinas, was organized in January of 1973 with a mission to improve, protect and advance the interest of the marina industry in Texas. It was initiated through the Sea Grant Program of Texas A&M University. The Marina Association of Texas was the first association of its kind in the nation. Members come together annually to share ideas, knowledge and experiences for the mutual benefit of all within the industry. It is directed by a member-elected Board of Directors and officers.

Each will serve a one year term in their respective position and are dedicated to furthering the growth and development of the association. To learn more about the association and membership, see their website at http://www.marinaassociationoftexas.com/membership .
