Boater Education

In 2011 there were 925,075 boats registered in Michigan. Our state is bounded by the largest system of freshwater lakes in the nation; and we Michiganders have a responsibility to keep our waters clean. Please use the materials on this page to learn what you and your fellow boaters can do to help protect this shared resource.
