Manasquan, New Jersey - Go Boating NJ and the Marine Trades Association of New Jersey recently launched the 'Let's Go Boating' photo contest. This new contest offers participants chances to win gift certificates from recreational marine businesses throughout the summer months. Go Boating NJ Facebook fans can participate by posting photos of their friends, family or themselves having a great time on the water. Participants can then share their photos and get their friends to vote for them.
The Facebook contest is aimed at encouraging boaters to get out on the water, enjoy the beautiful weather that the summer brings and share with others why they love boating in New Jersey. Winners will be announced each month through Labor Day weekend and awarded prizes from participating MTA/NJ member businesses.
"There is no better time than now to grab your camera and head out on the water and capture what you love about boating in New Jersey," stated Executive Director, Melissa Danko. "Let's Go Boating NJ!"

Go Boating NJ Mission Statement
The objective is to provide boaters throughout the Region with accurate, current information on the condition of New Jersey's waterways. Since Hurricane Sandy came ashore in late October, reports of unprecedented destruction to marine facilities, navigation aids and channels left boaters wondering if there would be a boating season in 2013. This initiative was launched to address concerns by providing coverage of the restoration efforts taking place each day. More importantly, the Go Boating NJ campaign will highlight, through on the water videos and photos, some of NJ's most popular boating areas to give boaters firsthand knowledge and visuals that these waterways are open and ready for them this season.
