Maine has a new law that requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1999 to have completed a recognized boater safety and education course in order to operate a motorboat greater than 25 horsepower on Maine inland or territorial waters. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be issued a certificate which they must carry when operating a motorboat and have available for inspection upon request by a law enforcement officer. 

The Megunticook Watershed Association is working with Port Harbor Marine, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Inland Fish & Wildlife to present the required course locally at Port Harbor Marine in Rockport.

The May 18th course will be taught by Inland Fish & Wildlife and will run from 9 to 3, with a small break for lunch.
