BoatOregon.com - Oregon State Marine Board

The Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB) acts as Oregon’s recreational boating agency. This means that the board has the objective of improving the safety in the State’s waterways for its numerous users. Its website details the services that the OSMB provides to boaters such as facility improvement, boating safety education and marine law enforcement. The site is subdivided accordingly, and you can choose between categories with titles such as “Boating Access”, “Boating Safety” and “Boating Hazards” to name but three. For its part, resources such as materials published by the board are featured in the pertinent section, whereas you can access both Oregon Statutes and administrative rules by following the provided links. As the site clearly explains, boaters under 70 have to carry their registration cards with them all the time when sailing, and as a result the site features a section for registration and renewal of said permit which is prominently featured. Lastly, as section entitled “Information to Know” deals with issues such as “Where to find non-blended fuel” and related considerations.
