Descrição do livro

Dear Fellow Alaskan,

Welcome to one of Alaska’s jewels, Resurrection Bay. Powerboaters, sailors, kayakers, divers, hunters, anglers, and photographers all enjoy the wonder this bay has to offer. The bay is an area of stunning natural beauty; it is rich in wildlife and marine mammals.

But Resurrection Bay—like most of coastal Alaska—also presents hazards. Experienced boaters know education and preparation are the keys to an enjoyable time in this natural paradise. Marine life, glacial hazards, weather, tides, and rock formations can pose formidable challenges to the inexperienced, uninformed, or unprepared boater. Please familiarize yourself with the contents of this supplement prior to departure to ensure you have a safe experience and enjoy the bay’s wonders without incident.

The Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, Office of Boating Safety, published this supplement to inform and aid you with navigating the bay’s waters. You will find useful information regarding preparation, local hazards, operating tips, cold water safety, and how to respond to emergency situations on the water.

Five out of six boating fatalities in Alaska are a result of a sudden capsize or fall overboard into cold water. Please be sure to wear a life jacket—not only could it save your life, but it could also save your family from the devastating loss of a loved one.

Enjoy Resurrection Bay and have a safe, memorable adventure.
