BoatUS: Be vigilant when renewing your boat’s U.S. Coast Guard Vessel Documentation

Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) is advising boaters with vessels that have a U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Documentation to be wary of any letter arriving by U.S. mail offering renewal.
BoatUS advises that while the Coast Guard does send official annual renewal notices by U.S. mail, other notices being received by BoatUS members are not from the Coast Guard but rather third-party companies whose name or return addresses may appear similar to that of the official U.S. Coast Guard National Vessel Documentation Center (NVDC).

H2Ohio expands to include river watersheds

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recently announced the expansion of H2Ohio, the state’s comprehensive, data-driven strategy to improve water quality throughout Ohio.
Since launching in 2019, H2Ohio has primarily focused on water infrastructure replacement in low-income areas, statewide wetland creation, and the reduction of algal-bloom-causing agricultural runoff into Lake Erie. The new H2Ohio Rivers program will expand the initiative’s overall goals to also focus on improving and maintaining the health of Ohio’s large rivers.
