Vessel Inspections:
The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary offers free vessel
safety checks (VSC) to boaters who wish to promote their own boating
safety. If you are interested in a Vessel Safety Check you can
e-mail
us for an inspection or just come to one of the scheduled locations.

America's Waterway Watch:
If you are a tow boat operator, a recreational boater,
a fisherman, a marina operator, or otherwise live, work or engage in
recreational activities around America's waterways, the United States
Coast Guard wants your help in keeping these areas safe and secure.
You can do this by participating in its
America's waterway watch
program, a nationwide initiative similar to the
well known and successful Neighborhood Watch program that asks community
members to report suspicious activities to local law enforcement agencies.

You’re in Command:
"You’re in Command"
is the U.S. Coast Guard’s public boating safety
outreach initiative, which encourages all recreational boaters to
take responsibility for their actions on the water. As a boat owner
or operator, you are responsible for your safety and the safety
of your passengers.
That’s why we say: "You’re in Command. Boat
Responsibly!"
