Volunteer for the 2026 National Recreational Boating Safety Survey!

The National Recreational Boating Safety Survey (NRBSS) is a nationwide survey sponsored by the U.S. Coast Guard to understand how many people go boating, what types of boats they use, and how often they are on the water. As part of the survey, we are asking for volunteers to complete a brief sign-up page asking about their boating habits and share their contact information with the Coast Guard so a wide range of boaters can be invited to participate in the larger NRBSS survey later in the year.

To volunteer, please go to:

Thank you for completing the survey.

⚓️ National Safe Boating Week 2026 is Here! ⚓️

As we kick off the summer boating season, National Safe Boating Week (May 16–22, 2026) serves as an important reminder that safety on the water starts before you leave the dock.

🚤 Before heading out, remember to:
✅ Wear your U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket
✅ Check that your required safety equipment is onboard and operational
✅ Take a boating safety course to sharpen your knowledge and skills

Today also marked “Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day,” helping raise awareness that life jackets save lives and should be worn every time you’re on the water, not just carried onboard.

Whether you're fishing, cruising, or enjoying time with family and friends, make safety your first priority this boating season.
