The U.S. Coast Guard has officially launched the National Recreational Boating Safety Survey (NRBSS). This is the first comprehensive survey of its kind since 2018 and is a critical tool for understanding boating habits across all 50 states to help reduce accidents and identify high-risk behaviors.

How You Can Help: From now until February 2027, the Coast Guard is seeking volunteers to complete a brief sign-up page about their boating habits. This information allows a wider range of boaters to be invited to participate in the larger study later this year.
