National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) Weekly Poll

Gathering information about boating attitudes is what the NSBC believes is a good way to understand the issues. They recognize their polling project is not a statistically valid way to conclude what is really happening on the water; however it is something that can promote discussion and thought. You can go to: http://www.safeboatingcouncil.org/ and take the poll. Anyone with a polling question they would like posted can submit it to cgauxstu@yahoo.com for forwarding to the NSBC.
