Some New Challenges For Realistic Strategies
State and federal law requires boaters have certain safety equipment on board depending on the type of boat and the time and place they’re boating, said USCG recreational boating safety specialist Mike Folkert. One thing stays the same: all recreational boats must have properly-fitted, serviceable life jackets for each passenger, Folkert said. Kids under 13 must wear life jackets while on an open deck. A full list of requirements can be found at doa.alaska.gov and in the Alaska Boater’s Handbook . Voluntary recreational vessel checks are non-punitive, Folkert explained, and conducted by citizen volunteers. The idea is that boat owners have a chance to learn how they can bring their boats into compliance before they get out on the water. The Coast Guard could levy a fine to a boater who isn’t following the rules; voluntary checks are a way to avoid that. Those who undergo voluntary checks receive a sticker they can put on their vessels, Folkert said. The USCG is more often more lenient when inspecting vessels that have the sticker. A sticker, “Doesn’t mean you won’t be stopped by the Coast Guard, but if the Coast Guard is out there and doing inspections, they could go to the next guy,” when they see a sticker, Folkert said. Recreational boating fatalities have declined on a long-term trend since 2002, Folkert said.
