I'm proud to say that Ifish is working with the Coast Guard to make sure you aware on the water. These classes were originally intended for guide boat/charter operators, but we have decided that EVERYONE needs to know.

Small Uninspected Passenger Vessels in the Portland, Oregon Zone:
By direction of the
Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection
Dear Boat Owner/Operator:
In preparation for the 2004 operating season, we are promoting a seminar for the Uninspected Passenger Vessel (Six Pack Operator/Guide Boat) to address some new Coast Guard Credentialing Regulations, Marine Casualty Reporting requirements, and Drug and Alcohol Program issues. This will be the first of this type offered by Marine Safety Office Portland OR. With the continual growth of the industry of Guide Boat Operators, we believe this is a crucial and much needed outreach tool for all owners and operators. The following items will be emphasized this year:
• Licensing and Credentialing Requirements (federal and state),
• Drug and Alcohol Program requirements,
• Casualty Reporting Requirements,
• Coast Guard Emergency Rescue and Assistance.
We will provide training and discussion on these items during the seminar, with a question and answer session following each item. We will also have licensing application packages for those in need and handouts to assist in contacting the appropriate agencies.
We have scheduled 5 outreach seminars all scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1p.m. and encourage you to attend the one closest to you:
March 20, 2004 (Saturday) – Coast Guard Station Coos Bay, OR
March 21, 2004 (Sunday) – Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment, Ilwaco, WA
March 22, 2004 (Monday) – Coast Guard Station Newport, OR
March 22, 2004 (Monday) – Coast Guard Station Grays Harbor, Westport, WA
March 28, 2004 (Sunday) – Red Lion Inn Hotel, Lewiston, ID
