March of the Dockwalkers

By Tim Henry | February 20, 2019 |

Started by the California Division of Boating and Waterways in 1999, the Dockwalker Program encourages people to get trained as certified partners who “inspire and educate boaters to be safe and environmentally sound. These partners distribute boater kits with educational materials while visiting marinas, boat launch ramps, boat shows and events.”

The DBW is encouraging anyone who’s interested in becoming a Dockwalker to attend a free hour-and-a-half-long training class. “During the class participants learn about potential sources of boat pollution and their impact, environmental regulations for boaters, and clean boating practices that prevent pollution from boating. Age range is 15 years and up. The program can document community service hours. Contact the Division of Boating and Waterways and the California Coastal Commission’s Boating Clean and Green Program at (415) 904-6905; [email protected] or visit www.BoatingCleanandGreen.com to register for a class.
