Actions on 2002 Proposals Details from proposed boating regulations provided to the public for comment. Often Maryland residents think they can do little to affect the boating activity in their area. However, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources works with the public daily to provide safety on the waterways of the State. Problems with speeding, overcrowding, and congestion can be addressed in a number of ways. In areas where problems are consistent and the problems pose significant safety issues, regulations creating speed zones may be necessary. The Regulatory Process Creating a speed zone is a regulatory process. The process starts by submitting to the Maryland Boat Act Advisory Committee, a petition signed by at least 25 people detailing where, why and what type of restriction is requested. The Department then begins researching and investigating the area. Buoys are placed in the area advising boaters that the area is under study. Notices to boaters concerning the proposed regulatory change are distributed in the area. During the next boating season, a vessel traffic survey is conducted by the Department. This information includes the types and amount of vessels in the area as well as their activity levels, speed and operating hours. In addition to these surveys, any reports the Department has on file concerning vessel use, accidents, complaints, and boating violations are compiled. Public comment is solicited from boaters and property owners in the area. When the study period ends, all the accumulated data is compiled . At that time, a public meeting may be held to solicit additional public input. The Department then submits an Executive Summary to the State's Boating Law Administrator. The Boating Law Administrator presents this recommendation to the Maryland Boat Act Advisory Committee.

Wisconsin Boating Regulations Please note that this is not a complete set of boating laws. This is the information published in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Boating Regulations pamphlet. You may obtain further information by E-Mail or by contacting your local conservation warden or law enforcement authorities. Wisconsin boaters enjoy one of the finest recreational boating safety programs in the nation. To aid those in distress on our waters and to assure that the requirements of law are obeyed Wisconsin Conservation Wardens, many county sheriff's departments, municipal police departments and the U.S. Coast Guard have established marine enforcement patrols. Whenever your boat is approached by an authorized patrol boat displaying blue lights you shall reduce the boat speed to slow-no-wake speed and yield the right-of-way to the patrol boat. The operator of a boat shall stop when requested to by a law enforcement officer or patrol boat. These officers are charged with the responsibility of providing safety afloat. Law violators can expect enforcement action and conscientious boaters will find these officers helpful protectors of their recreation.

No upper age limit for participation in scuba diving exists, provided a diver is healthy and fit and has no disqualifying medical conditions. Some divers may be asked by their physician to perform an exercise tolerance test to rule out any cardiovascular (heart) problems - this is appropriate when the diver is older or appears generally out of shape. This test allows a physician to collect information about how well an individual responds to exercise. To get the most out of your lifetime of diving, practice disease and injury prevention and participate in a health maintenance program: See your physician for regular checkups Participate in a regular exercise program Be rested and well-nourished before diving Use proper exposure protection and equipment Plan your dive to avoid overexertion Most of all, don't hide or downplay any medical condition or health problem. It's better to have an open and frank discussion before a problem arises than to wonder if the injury could have been avoided. Finally, if you have questions on your own diving fitness, queries about certain medical conditions when diving, how to find a diving doctor in your area, or if your physician has any questions, call DAN's Dive Safety and Medical Information Line at (919) 684-2948 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
