Podcasts about boaters

In this episode of NDO Podcast, we visit with Jackie Lundstrom, enforcement operations supervisor, and Jonathan Peterson, Devils Lake district game warden, about safe boating laws and best practices, incident reporting requirements and some cautionary tales from the water.

The Boaters' Rights Advocacy Coalition is a group of dedicated boaters associations representing more than 20,000 members committed to advocating for the rights of all active cruisers and boaters. Our mission is to ensure safe, equitable, and sustainable access to our public waterways. Here's how you can help protect anchoring on Florida's waterways:Contribute to our Advocacy Fund. This fund helps pay our lobbyist in Florida. Without professional representation, we don't have a seat a the table. Contact the members of Florida's Senate Fiscal Policy Committee:We are concerned that Senate Bill 594 will be added to the agenda for the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee the week of 4/14/2025. SB 594 could ban anchoring within 2,500 feet of Florida's Seaports and is purported to be a security measure, but there is no evidence of a security threat needing mitigation. Please email or call the Senators on the committee (see below) as soon as possible and share why you oppose the bill. Below some specific points regarding this bill for your use when calling or emailing. Please choose a few and tailor them to make your own.State Parks near several ports -- including the Ports of Everglades, Panama City, Fernandina, Fort Pierce, Pensacola, Key West, Tampa -- where anchoring is currently enjoyed are within the potential no-anchoring zones created by this bill.Common recreational anchoring areas are negatively affected in this bill. Fernandina, Port Canaveral, Ft Pierce, Lake Worth, Miami and Key West will lose much or all of their anchoring area.The setback is excessive, and is not supported by historical events or the water depths which are 10ft or less in some of the areas the bill would make off limits, making the ideal areas for us to anchor but not useable by cargo or cruise shipsPort security concerns are not highlighted in publicly available minutes from meetings of the Ports Council, Port of Palm Beach, and Port of Miami.Generally, federal law controls the regulation of navigation, seaport security and other aspects of admiralty law in and upon the navigable waters of the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently determined that federal supremacy principles mandate that federal law preempts state and local government efforts to impose conditions on port entry that federal laws already cover. Federal law allows a state to regulate its ports and waterways, as long as the regulation is based on the peculiarities of local waters that call for special precautionary measures. We believe these waters do not call for special precautionary measures, and the state of Florida lacks jurisdiction in this matter. There is substantial case law that supports this assertion.The US Coast Guard (USCG) is the lead federal agency for maritime security and the primary enforcer of security zones around seaport facilities and vessels not the Florida Wildlife and Conservation Commission. The USCG issues security zone orders, conducts patrols and inspections, coordinates with other agencies and stakeholders, and responds to incidents and emergencies within security zones.General Guidelines on Contacting Legislators:Email or phone are the best ways to reach a legislator. Letters are second best, but in our electronic world today everyone uses computers.Timing is very important. Don't delay your email until after the bill has been passed. HB 481 will be heard in committee onWednesday aftermoon.Be polite and professional. Profanity will not help no matter how frustrated you may be.Address the email/letter as ‘Dear Senator xxx' and ‘Dear Representative xxx'.Limit your message to 200 words or so. Long emails don't get the point across. Three paragraphs are a reasonable limit for emails and letters.If not a Florida resident, identify yourself as cruiser/tourist from ________ state. Emails from citizens of other states are also effective because a large segment of Florida's economy is based on tourism.Form letters are routinely ignored except they are simply tallied up. They represent the viewpoint of one individual, no matter how many times they are transmitted. Please take the time to put the “talking points” we've provided into your own words.Work very hard to avoid misspellings, grammatical errors and skipped words in your document. These are easy to spot, and may cause the reader to misunderstand what you are saying or skip reading your email entirely.Here are the committee members to contact:Last NameFirst NameCapitol PhoneEmail AddressGrutersJoe(850) 487-5022gruters.joe.web@flsenate.govOsgoodRosalind(850) 487-5032osgood.rosalind.web@flsenate.govArringtonKristen(850) 487-5025arrington.kristen.web@flsenate.govAvilaBryan(850) 487-5039Avila.Bryan.web@flsenate.govBernardMack(850) 487-5024bernard.mack.web@flsenate.govBoydJim(850) 487-5020boyd.jim.web@flsenate.govBradleyJennifer(850) 487-5006bradley.jennifer.web@flsenate.govBurtonColleen(850) 487-5012Burton.Colleen.web@flsenate.govCalatayudAlexis(850) 487-5038Calatayud.Alexis.web@flsenate.govDavisTracie(850) 487-5005Davis.Tracie.web@flsenate.govGaetzDon(850) 487-5001gaetz.don.web@flsenate.govIngogliaBlaise(850) 487-5011ingoglia.blaise.web@flsenate.govJonesShevrin ''Shev''(850) 487-5034jones.shevrin.web@flsenate.govLeekTom(850) 487-5007leek.tom.web@flsenate.govPassidomoKathleen(850) 487-5028passidomo.kathleen.web@flsenate.govRodriguezAna Maria(850) 487-5040rodriguez.anamaria.web@flsenate.govSimonCorey(850) 487-5003simon.corey.web@flsenate.govTruenowKeith(850) 487-5013truenow.keith.web@flsenate.govYarboroughClay(850) 487-5004Yarborough.Clay.web@flsenate.gov

Where do whales live? Where do they go? These are just some of the questions the US federal government would like to answer by introducing a bill (H.R. 10292) called the Whale CHARTS Act. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lauren discusses the recently introduced Whale Conservation Habitat Analysis Research and Technical Strategies Act, also known as the Whale Charts Act. This bipartisan legislation aims to enhance the protection of baleen and sperm whales by improving our understanding of their feeding areas, calving grounds, and migration routes. Key points covered in the episode include: Objectives of the Whale Charts Act: The bill seeks to create high-resolution distribution maps of whale populations, develop predictive models to forecast shifts in whale habitats due to climate change, and conduct targeted research on understudied baleen whale species. Importance of Mapping: Enhanced mapping and predictive modeling are crucial for preventing dangerous collisions between vessels and whales. The North Atlantic right whale, for example, is often struck by ships, and understanding their migration routes is essential for their conservation. Use of Technology: The act encourages the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to utilize innovative data sources, such as passive acoustic monitoring and satellite imagery, to improve the accuracy of habitat maps. This technology integration aims to safeguard marine wildlife while ensuring safer navigation for boaters. Bipartisan Support: The episode emphasizes that the Whale Charts Act has bipartisan support, making it a viable piece of legislation that could pass. Listeners are encouraged to contact their federal representatives to express support for the bill. Overall, the episode highlights the significance of mapping and tracking whale populations not only for their protection but also for the safety of human activities in marine environments. By leveraging advanced technology and data, the Whale Charts Act represents a proactive step towards harmonizing maritime operations with the natural behaviors of whales.

“Day Zero” Approaches in Mexico City. That story and more on H2O Radio's weekly news report. Headlines: As Mexicans went to the polls to elect a new president, one of their top issues was water. To cope with record heat and water shortages in India, some people are turning to ancient methods to stay cool. In a “historic” win for small island nations, an international court has deemed human-caused greenhouse gas emissions a marine pollutant. Boaters better beware if these sea creatures are nearby.

After a wet winter and a rainy spring, many of us are enjoying the somewhat warmer temperatures, heading into summer. Boaters are taking advantage of this, too. But being on the water comes with risks. Boating-related fatalities still make up a big chunk of water-related deaths in Canada each year. This is Safe Boating Awareness Week, and Transport Canada is reminds people to always keep safety in mind. The CBC's Hillary Johnson spoke with their boating safety officer, Melissa McGrath.

Episode Summary: Two teen boaters are facing third degree felony charges for pollution after they were caught on video dumping trash into the Atlantic Ocean during a South Florida boating party. In this episode, AB Ridgeway discusses the repercussions faced by two teen boaters drawing parallels between their actions and short-sighted financial decisions, Ridgeway emphasizes the importance of long-term planning and ethical considerations when investing.Key Takeaways:Consequences of Short-Term Thinking: The incident involving the teen boaters serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of short-sighted actions. Just as dumping trash into the ocean has long-term environmental repercussions, seeking quick financial gains without considering ethical or legal implications can lead to detrimental outcomes.Value of Long-Term Planning: Ridgeway underscores the significance of long-term financial planning over seeking immediate gratification. Investing in the future requires discipline, patience, and foresight, rather than succumbing to the temptation of quick fixes or get-rich-quick schemes.Ethical Decision-Making: Through biblical teachings and ethical reflections, listeners are encouraged to consider the moral implications of their actions. Ridgeway provides a simple framework for ethical decision-making, emphasizing empathy, accountability, and alignment with personal values.Accountability and Responsibility: The episode highlights the importance of accountability and responsibility in both personal and financial contexts. Just as the teen boaters faced legal consequences for their actions, investors must take ownership of their decisions and consider their long-term impact.Community Engagement: Ridgeway encourages listeners to engage with the podcast content and participate in discussions about ethical decision-making and accountability. By sharing insights and perspectives with others, individuals can foster a supportive community committed to ethical behavior and responsible stewardship.Quotes:"One night of pleasure can cause you a lifetime of pain... This one day on the water having fun dumping trash inside the ocean is going to cause them a lifetime of pain." - AB Ridgeway"Picking stocks is like gambling... But financial planning, strategic investing is not the same. It's where you have a plan and you're systematically making sure the odds stay in your favor." -"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God... These boys have a lot to learn about discipline and long-term effects of short-term decisions." - Philippians 4:6

In this episode, AB Ridgeway discusses the repercussions faced by two teen boaters drawing parallels between their actions and short-sighted financial decisions, Ridgeway emphasizes the importance of long-term planning and ethical considerations when investing.Key Takeaways:Consequences of Short-Term Thinking: The incident involving the teen boaters serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of short-sighted actions. Just as dumping trash into the ocean has long-term environmental repercussions, seeking quick financial gains without considering ethical or legal implications can lead to detrimental outcomes.Value of Long-Term Planning: Ridgeway underscores the significance of long-term financial planning over seeking immediate gratification. Investing in the future requires discipline, patience, and foresight, rather than succumbing to the temptation of quick fixes or get-rich-quick schemes.Ethical Decision-Making: Through biblical teachings and ethical reflections, listeners are encouraged to consider the moral implications of their actions. Ridgeway provides a simple framework for ethical decision-making, emphasizing empathy, accountability, and alignment with personal values.Accountability and Responsibility: The episode highlights the importance of accountability and responsibility in both personal and financial contexts. Just as the teen boaters faced legal consequences for their actions, investors must take ownership of their decisions and consider their long-term impact.Community Engagement: Ridgeway encourages listeners to engage with the podcast content and participate in discussions about ethical decision-making and accountability. By sharing insights and perspectives with others, individuals can foster a supportive community committed to ethical behavior and responsible stewardship.Quotes:"One night of pleasure can cause you a lifetime of pain... This one day on the water having fun dumping trash inside the ocean is going to cause them a lifetime of pain." - AB Ridgeway"Picking stocks is like gambling... But financial planning, strategic investing is not the same. It's where you have a plan and you're systematically making sure the odds stay in your favor." -"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God... These boys have a lot to learn about discipline and long-term effects of short-term decisions." - Philippians 4:6

First up this week we've got Justinn Overton with the Coosa Riverkeepers. Justin picks up where Will Strickland left off last week, giving us an in-depth explanation of PCBs and how elevated concentrations affect anglers. Using Choccolocco Creek as an example, she explains how this carcinogen can stay in the waterways for decades and bioaccumulate in bass tissue. If you're “catch-and-keep” fisherman, you'll want to tune in to hear more about Coosa Riverkeepers involvement in getting the SHOR Act passed so that fish consumption advisories become more easily accessible for outdoorsmen. Next up we have Melissa Miller here to talk with us about the Mobile Boat Show. Boaters and anglers near the Mobile area won't want to miss this local event, especially if you're in the market for a new boat. Join us as we talk history, food, and water skiing squirrels. Finally we have Paul Kabalin with Engel Coolers. While you may be most familiar with Engel high-quality coolers, dryboxes, and bait buckets, this week Paul is here to talk about their line of portable electric coolers and freezers. If you've ever had a hankerin' for cold ice cream on your pontoon boat, or grown tired of making ice runs at deer camp, you'll want to stay tuned to learn about the technology that makes these durable freezers stay icy-cold in some of the world's harshest environments.

A day out on a lake turned to disaster after a houseboat becomes engulfed in flames. Boaters nearby yelled for the 25 family members on board to jump into the water to safety. At one point someone screams, get the baby. Yes, a two-month-old baby was among the passengers. And the Seattle police department says it is investigating an officer who was caught on bodycam footage laughing after the death of a young woman killed by another cop responding to a call. A 23-year-old grad student was crossing the street when she was struck by a speeding police cruiser. Plus, former President Donald Trump has granted an increasing number of interviews lately…and he's receiving the same question: Where's Melania? The former first lady has been noticeably absent from the campaign trail. And you've probably heard about the cyber-attack that brought Las Vegas to its knees. All week long, the MGM Grand, Bellagio, and Caesars have been reeling with disabled ATMs and slot machines, elevators out of order…and clerks being put in the position of writing down people's credit card numbers. Unfortunately, it isn't over yet. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Day in Maine for Monday, September 11th, 2023.

On this episode of The BoatCast - Soundcheck XXIII Edition, we are thrilled to welcome back Josh Polack and his Beachmont bandmates Tyler and Reeve. Josh shares how much it means to him to be back on TRB, as he left TRB XXI with the impression that he would return. During the last sailing, The BoatCast received "Vote for Beachmont" shirts, a clear sign that his campaign started well before submitting for this year's Soundcheck. He cannot contain his excitement about how his life has transformed in the past year and expresses his gratitude to The Rock Boat family for helping him through his darkest times. In his record 5th appearance on the podcast, Josh demonstrates his deep understanding of the Rock Boat community and proposes a chance to win a free cabin show if he makes it to the next round of voting. He surprises listeners with a mesmerizing 12-string acoustic-electric rendition of an iconic Rock Boat song, accompanied by sax and keys, that will undoubtedly resonate with Boaters (and no, it is not a Katy Perry song). Remember, the next round of voting is approaching rapidly. Show your support for Beachmont and all the incredible musicians on the list by casting your vote at www.RockBoat.com/soundcheck before Wednesday, 8/23/23, at 3 PM ET!Josh Polack/Beachmont can be found at: website

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for July 1st Saturday Publish Date: June 30 Friday   Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast Today is Saturday July 1st and happy 70th birthday to actor Dan Akroyd ***Akroyd*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia 1. Georgia DNR Game Wardens participate in Operation Dry Water to halt boating under the influence this weekend 2. Residents turn out in support of Cobb's Jewish community 3. And Cobb's 'second chance' program has restricted 1,000 criminal records since 2021 launch   Plus All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.   Commercial : CU of GA   STORY 1 dnr   As the July 4th holiday approaches, boaters across the US are gathering on waterways. However, this also leads to an increase in boating incidents and fatalities. To address this issue, Georgia DNR Law Enforcement, along with the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and the US Coast Guard, is participating in Operation Dry Water. This initiative aims to raise awareness and enforce safe boating practices, particularly sober boating, which is crucial as alcohol use is a leading cause of recreational boater fatalities. Game Wardens will work to educate the public about the dangers of boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They will increase patrols and conduct checkpoints to ensure the safety of boaters. Operating a vessel while impaired is illegal and can result in serious consequences. Boaters are reminded to boat sober and wear life jackets. Operation Dry Water is a year-round campaign promoting awareness and deterring alcohol and drug use on the water. For more information, visit operationdrywater.org...........……... Read more about this at mdjonline.com   Story 2: support   Residents of Cobb County came together at East Cobb United Methodist Church in a show of solidarity with their Jewish neighbors, following an antisemitic demonstration outside Chabad of Cobb. The interfaith service, titled "A Time of Prayer and Action to Support our Jewish Neighbors," saw a packed church filled with people who felt the need to take a stand against hate. The neo-Nazi rally, organized by the Goyim Defense League, targeted multiple locations with antisemitic flyers before reaching Cobb County. Mechel McKinley-Hoffman and Rabbi Daniel Dorsch decided to organize the event as a call to action rather than a counterprotest. The support from allies and the community was evident, and Cobb County officials expressed their opposition to hate. Efforts were also made at the legislative level, with a bill to define antisemitism in state law, although it has yet to pass.   Story 3: gop   Cobb District Attorney Flynn Broady Jr. announced that Cobb County's record restriction program has helped 1,000 individuals restrict their criminal records. The program, established two years ago under Georgia's "Second Chance Law," allows nonviolent misdemeanor convictions and some individuals with pardoned felony convictions to seek record restriction or expungement. The Second Chance Desk, launched in June 2021, connects people with attorneys who offer free consultations and assistance in completing restriction and sealing applications. The aim is to provide individuals with a second chance, allowing them to secure employment and housing without the burden of a criminal history. Broady emphasized the importance of restorative justice and enabling former offenders to fully engage in the community. The Second Chance Desk is a collaborative effort between various organizations, including the Georgia Justice Project and Cobb County's legal entities........….we'll be right back   Break: Dayco - ESOG - JRM   STORY 4: NCC   North Cobb Christian School celebrated the groundbreaking of the second phase of its upper school facility, marking a significant milestone in the school's growth. The event saw a joyful gathering of faculty, parents, students, and alumni under a tent adorned with balloons. The capital campaign for phase two, which aims to add 35,000 square feet to the existing upper school building, was launched in November 2021. The $12 million campaign goal was successfully achieved through the support of 375 donors, enabling the construction to proceed debt-free. The new phase will feature amenities such as a large dining hall, commercial kitchen, student-run coffee shop, outdoor dining area, recreational space, life sciences labs, and an upper school program center. The school expects to complete construction and open the new building for the 2024-25 school year. The event emphasized God's faithfulness and the school community's gratitude for the support received over the past 40 years     STORY 5: paran   Mount Paran Christian School has announced several promotions within its administrative team for the upcoming academic year. Tawanna Rusk will assume the role of associate head of school, focusing on providing academic leadership and support to the division heads of the school's four academic levels. Jason Beard will become the head of high school, while Ashley Cochran will take on the position of assistant head of high school. Dr. Nikki Hamilton will serve as the new high school dean of students. Tina Baker has been appointed as the head of lower school after a nationwide search, and Jocelyn Sotomayor will be the assistant head of lower school. Penny Harrison will continue as the head of preschool. The school expressed confidence in its academic leadership team and their commitment to the school's mission and vision. Mount Paran Christian School is a non-denominational college-preparatory school catering to students from preschool to grade 12.   Story 6: hiring   The Cobb County Sheriff's Office is organizing a free family fun and hiring event on July 8 at the Cobb County Safety Village in Marietta. The event aims to involve families of law enforcement applicants throughout the hiring process. Applicants should arrive in fitness attire by 8 a.m. and will participate in a physical agility test and interviews. The event will take place rain or shine, with only 44 slots remaining to be filled. In addition to the hiring activities, there will be food trucks, a live DJ, bouncy houses, face painting, backpack giveaways, and displays of cutting-edge equipment.

The previous aviary was over 20 years old and required an upgrade to ensure the safety of the birds, including protection from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. Thanks to the contributions from The Imlay Foundation, Barbara & Ed Taylor, the Choate Bridges Foundation, and other generous donors, the funds were secured to rebuild the enclosure. The Turkey Vulture and Black Vulture, who had been off exhibit since August 2022, have now been returned to the aviary. The Chattahoochee Nature Center plays a crucial role in wildlife rehabilitation, handling over 700 cases and 3,500 inquiries annually. Donations are welcomed to support their important work.

The grant will fund the Powder Springs Bike Rack Art Project, which aims to promote active and healthy lifestyles and provide alternatives to car-centric living. The city plans to partner with the South Cobb Arts Alliance to design, create, and install five artistically designed bike racks in strategic locations throughout downtown Powder Springs. This initiative is part of the city's broader efforts to create a livable and sustainable environment, including a redesigned town square with green spaces and community amenities. Powder Springs is also building connector trails between the Silver Comet Trail and downtown, further enhancing accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians. For more information about the AARP Community Challenge projects, visit aarp.org/CommunityChallenge.   Story 9: hawks   The Atlanta Hawks and State Farm collaborated on a Console to Career esports panel at the Ron Anderson Recreation Center in Powder Springs. The event aimed to educate students about career paths and opportunities in gaming. Local esports professionals, including representatives from Hawks Talon GC and other gaming organizations, shared their experiences and insights. The panel highlighted the diverse career options in esports and emphasized the importance of diversity and inclusivity in the industry. Hawks Talon GC Head Coach Ismael Diaz-Tolentino also engaged with the students. The Ron Anderson Recreation Center's Good Neighbor Club, which focuses on esports, was selected for the event due to its recent technology enhancements sponsored by State Farm. Additionally, the children had the chance to receive professional tools and basketball fundamentals, while some participated in the Hawks' annual camp at Ron Anderson.   We'll have Final thoughts coming up after this……     Break: Fernbank – Ted's - Henssler 60 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.

Not sure what that means, but we're happy to have him back. The boys touch in about their past few weeks, including some extensive talk about the Minnesota Muskie Opener. Both Pinkalla and Hahner were able to get out, with much different results. Next, the boys dive into another segment of "Geared Up" and they reveal some JUICE. Lastly, we all need a vent session at times about the terrible boaters we see on the water. So this segment of The Weigh In, we dive into the Worst Types of Boaters.

It's officially summer (which means boating season is at its peak). We get a ton of questions from our audience about the best entry-level boats for newer boat owners - so we put together a podcast on the topic. Tight lines and enjoy.
