BOATING SAFETY COURSES
|
|
There
are many sources to learn about Boating. In addition to
the US COAST GUARD and COAST GUARD AUXILIARY, your state
or local county may also provide boat safety and education
classes. Many of these are offered for free or for a small
fee. Your state may have also partnered with Boat-Ed
(Boat-ed.com) or other recognized providers. Most will
indicate they are approved by your state and perhaps the
National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA)
and/or recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard.
