NSBC Executive Director Peg Phillips remarked, “We’re pleased to partner with America’s Boating Channel in drawing attention to this important annual observance that reminds recreational boaters to brush-up on boating safety skills as they prepare for the boating season.”

NSBC’s collections of videos cover the Safe Boating Campaign, Wear It, Boat on Course, Get Connected, Know Your Buoys, Powerboat Sea Scouts, and – newly added to America’s Boating Channel – Waves of Hope.
