The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday overwhelmingly approved the sweeping U.S. Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2007.
The bill would authorize $8.7 billion in spending for the Coast Guard. It also includes several narrow provisions that address security of LNG terminals, invasive species and stricter reporting requirements for cruise ships, among other issues.
One of the thorniest issues in the bill is the provision making the Coast Guard enforce security zones around LNG tankers and terminals. The White House had complained the requirement would siphon valuable resources from the Coast Guard. That prompted a GOP-backed amendment, which permits the federal agency to take into consideration state and local government resources when determining security plans for LNG sites.
White House spokesman Trey Brohn told reporters the administration is concerned about several key provisions in the House bill, but will work with members of Congress as the legislation moves forward.
The Senate is considering its own version of the bill.
In South Florida, industry leaders praised the bill's passage by the House because of a provision that provides a complete exemption for the service and repair segment of the recreational boating industry from the requirement for coverage under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as long as state workers' compensation coverage is in place.
The provision in the Coast Guard bill also provides specific relief to manufacturers of recreational boats 165 feet or under. The provision was drafted by two Florida legislators, Democratic representatives Ron Klein and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who have consistently championed marine industry issues.
The issue has been a particularly hot topic in South Florida and the Marine Industries Association of South Florida has been lobbying for the exemption since 2001.
“This has been the No. 1 legislative priority for the recreational marine industry in South Florida for the past six years,” said Kristina Hebert, vice president of operations for Ward's Marine Electric and past president of the MIASF. “If enacted, this legislation will have a major positive economic impact on South Florida as well as the rest of the country's recreational marine industry.”
Organizations such as the Nature Conservancy also praise the bill's passage because of a provision concerning ballast water treatment. The legislation requires ships in U.S. waters to install ballast treatment systems to eradicate invasive species carried in ships' ballast water and to implement best management practices to address other ways in which invasive species can be spread from ships.
"While we are glad the House has passed this bill to shut the gates forever on aquatic nuisances," the bill needs to go further, said F. Ned Dikmen, chairman of the Great Lakes Boating Federation. “It is imperative that Congress provide an exemption for recreational boaters. Treating small craft like commercial ships isn't just misguided, it could ruin the $16 billion recreational boating industry."

By now, the skipper in your life has probably dropped a few hints about holiday gifts. Was it the note left on the coffee pot about Articulated ABS Barrel Hinge foldable Aluminum Tubing? At first glance, one would have thought that the message was a reminder about being out of coffee filters. Then it comes back to you that there was a conversation in the car about GemLock Assembled Folding Struts.
Foldable aluminum tubing is one of the hottest trends in stainless steel hardware for marine canvas and solar panel frames. The tubing offers versatility in styling, high quality, and ease of use. https://www.clrmarine.com/462m4/manufacturers/g/gemini-marine.html
Back to your captain's holiday gift list. Was there a subtle hint, while you both were swimming off the boat, and your skipper showed concern that the transom ladder seemed a little short by a few steps? She would find getting out of the lake sooooo much easier if she didn't have to reach her foot up so far to the lowest step. She had also mentioned a discussion with other boat captains about the Extend Your Step, an easy-to-use boat boarding ladder extension. Several of her sailing buddies already have them and raved about the ease and portability.
.
All of the products mentioned above are available at CLR Marine.com. How confident are the folks at CLR Marine about the Extend Your Step regarding ease in boarding and extending the ladder length? This product reflects the confidence and integrity of CLR Marine's owner, Chuck Reed. He invented the Extend Your Step! When shopping for the extending ladder, be sure to check out the Extend Your Step Three – a longer and non-moving version of the Extend Your Step! https://www.clrmarine.com/Boat-Boarding-Ladder-Extension
It's possibly time for your captain to give the best seat in the house – on your boat- an upgrade. There is no better place to watch the glint of the sun on the waves than in a stern perch seat. Stern rail seats are now available for older model boats, even pre-1993, and the seats are removable. https://www.clrmarine.com/sternperch-seats.html
Stocking Stuffers
Floatable key rings. If you are old enough to have keys, then you are old enough to lose keys. House keys, boat keys, car keys – when these fall into the drink and aren't retrievable, your boat outing takes a turn for the worse. Car key fobs are expensive to replace. Neon colored strong straps or carabiner clips offer added security against key loss.
DryCASE Smartphone Case
The DryCASE waterproof cell phone case keeps your electronics protected, whether surfing, paddle boarding, or canoeing. The DryCASE uses vacuum seal technology to ensure a watertight seal every time.

Ideally suited to Motorcycles and ATV's, the AQUA BOX keeps your portable devices safe, dry, and accessible $36.49.

Lets talk Personal Flotation Devices for family fun on the water.
A personal flotation device abbreviated as PFD has also been called a life jacket, life preserver, life belt, Mae West, life vest, life saver, cork jacket and buoyancy aid. It is a piece of equipment designed to assist the wearer to keep afloat in water. The wearer may be either conscious or unconscious.
PFDs are available in different sizes to accommodate variations in body weight. Designs differ depending on wearing convenience and the level of protection needed. They may take the form of a simple vest, a jacket, or their variations suited for particular purposes. They are most commonly made of a tough synthetic fiber material encapsulating a source of buoyancy, such as foam or a chamber of air, and are often brightly colored yellow or orange to maximize visibility for rescuers.
Some devices consist of a combination of both buoyancy foam and an air chamber. Reflective "SOLAS" tape is often sewn to the fabric used to construct life jackets and PFDs to facilitate a person being spotted in darkness when a search light is shone towards the wearer.
Most Personal Flotation Devices come in a vast array of colors including camouflage for the hunter and for the kid's, different characters.
The Sterns Puddle Jumper is recommended by a lot of swim classes to give the beginner the confidence they need to start learning. (Please contact us for school discounts). It is also the only U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket of its kind that can be used on a boat.
The US, federal regulations require all persons under the age of 13 to wear a life jacket (PFD) when in a watercraft. State regulations may vary and must be followed when in that state's jurisdiction.
