Vessel Safety Check

examination of your boat (Vessel) to verify the presence and
condition of certain Safety Equipment required by State and the

Co-operative Charting
- The USPS-NOS Cooperative Charting (CoCh)
program is a joint effort between United States Power Squadrons (a
private non-profit boating organization) and the National Ocean
Service (NOS), a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Agency (NOAA). The program is aimed at providing NOS with
pertinent information about current conditions in waters charted
by NOAA, especially those which are frequented by recreational
boaters and, for which, NOAA is unable to provide their own
hydrographic information because of budgetary constraints imposed
by Congress in recent years.
