KEY: N = data
do not exist.
a The
numbers for recreational boating safety fatalities in 2000 are raw
numbers--CG reports a 6% addition as instructed by the DOT Inspector General
because it found a discrepancy in a review of the Search and Rescue
Management Information System (SARMIS) and BARD data. (See the discussion found in the DOT FY2003
Performance Plan/Report on pg. 135 under data details of recreational boating
fatalities).
b Number of boats for 1960 are
estimates.
c Starting in 2001 only cases
where alcohol is determined to be a direct or inderect cause of an accident
are reported. Previous years include cases where alcohol was present but
played no role in the accident.
d 1992
data includes $11 million damage due to a boat fire.
NOTE
Only a small fraction of property damages and nonfatal accidents
are reported to the U.S. Coast Guard.
