a U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Coast Guard (CG), Office
of Boating Safety, personal communication, May 15, 2002.
b Includes $11 million damage due to a boat fire.
c The numbers for recreational boating safety fatalities 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).
NOTE
Only a small fraction of property damages and nonfatal accidents are reported
to the U.S. Coast Guard.
