Maine has a new law that requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1999 to have completed a recognized boating 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 Inland Fish & Wildlife to present the required course locally at Port Harbor Marine in Rockport. The course will be taught by Inland Fish & Wildlife’s Kelli Gilzow Stowell and will run from 9 to 3, with a short break for lunch.
