It is illegal to dispose of any plastic trash into waters of the U.S.
MARINE SANITATION
Direct disposal of sanitation waste into some waters could result in being fined. Be sure
to check local regulations.
TO AVOID DAMAGING THE WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM AND THE ENVIRONMENT,
DO NOT PLACE FACIAL TISSUES, PAPER TOWELS OR SANITARY NAPKINS IN THE HEAD.
EXCESSIVE NOISE
Noise limits are regulated in many areas. Be sure to follow regulations and be courteous.
WAKE/WASH
Observe “No Wake” markers. Use caution when operating around smaller crafts, in
channels and marinas, and in congested areas.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY AND DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOUR WAKE.
REPORTING ACCIDENTS
The USCG requires the owner or operator of a boat involved in an accident, to report the
incident to the proper marine law enforcement agency for the state in which the accident
occurred. Immediate notification to the nearest State boating authority is required if a
person dies or disappears as a result of a recreational boating accident. If a person dies
or sustains injuries requiring more than first aid, a formal report must be filed within 48
hours of the accident. A formal report must be filed within 19 days for accidents
exceeding $500 in property damage or complete loss of boat.
RENDERING ASSISTANCE
If you see a distress signal or suspect a boat is in trouble, you must assume it is a real
emergency and render assistance immediately. By law, the operator in charge of the craft
is obligated to provide assistance to any individual in danger if such assistance can be
provided safely. Failure to render assistance can result in a fine and/or imprisonment.
The 1971 Boating Safety Act grants protection to a “Good Samaritan” boater providing
good faith assistance, and absolves a boater from any civil liability arising from such
assistance.
