ENJOY YOUR SPORT
BOAT RESPONSIBLY
You share the areas you enjoy when
operating your boat with others and
with nature. So your enjoyment
includes a responsibility to treat these
other people, and the lands, waters,
and wildlife with respect and courtesy.
Whenever and wherever you are boat-
ing, think of yourself as the guest of
those around you. Remember, for
example, that the sound of your boat
may be music to you, but it could be
just noise to others. And the exciting
splash of your wake can make waves
others won't enjoy. Avoid riding close to
shoreline homes and waterfowl nesting
areas or other wildlife areas, and keep
a respectful distance from fishermen,
other boats, swimmers, and populated
beaches. When travel in areas like
these is unavoidable, operate slowly
and obey all laws.
Remember that pollution can be harm-
ful to the environment. Do not refuel or
add oil where a spill could cause dam-
age to nature. And keep your surround-
ings pleasant for the people and wildlife
that share the waterways: don't litter!
When you go boating responsibly, with
respect and courtesy for others, you
help ensure that our waterways stay
open for the enjoyment of a variety of
recreational opportunities.
