We are looking for all types of watercraft for our 2016 Watercraft Inspector Training on April 13, 14, and 18. Volunteers will provide their boats for new and returning staff to get familiar with boat parts and inspection and decontamination procedures. We need a variety of boats including pleasure, fishing, PWCs, and ski or wakeboard boats. In exchange for volunteering your vessel, we will provide you with a $10 discount on your 2016 Annual Permit!

Please contact the Whatcom Boat Inspection Program at 778-7975 or email Teagan Ward, Aquatic Invasive Species Program Coordinator, at teward@cob.org if you are interested in volunteering your boat.
