The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the U.S. Coast Guard: Develop measures of recreational boating activities, boaters, and boats that can be used to identify and evaluate the risks in recreational boating. Once those measures have been developed, collect the appropriate data at the Federal and State levels, and use it to evaluate the effectiveness of recreational boating safety programs. Provide the data and the results of the evaluations to States for use in their own boating safety programs. (M-06-1) Ensure that the measures of recreational boater characteristics include documentation of boater educational experience that can be used at both the Federal and State levels to plan, coordinate, and evaluate recreational boating education and licensing programs.
