2006 Application Guide

New and Innovative Projects Wanted!

While many boating safety campaigns share important recurring messages—like wear a life jacket—applicants are encouraged to address issues specific to their area, such as weather & current patterns or navigational hazards. Past outreach methods have included, printed materials, advertising campaigns, and public service announcements. Remember, projects must be for the public good.  Preference is given to applications for pilot programs and new ideas!
