By becoming a member of the SBSA, you will join a forum for scientific boating administrators and boating safety personnel to share information that increases safety of your faculty, students and researchers. SBSA members participate with development of the latest standard of practices for training, equipment and scientific boating procedures. SBSA provides annual training awards to assist students obtaining boating safety training. Most importantly, your membership to the SBSA helps ensure scientific boating occurs in a safe and effective manner. Your membership will also enable SBSA to have a stronger voice when representing scientific boating in discussions with federal, state and local agencies.
