      Florida Boaters Can Now Take Free 
      State-Approved Boating Safety Course  

      At-home learning helps Florida boaters prepare for the water easily and conveniently

      FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – February 4, 2026 – The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water has launched the only free interactive boating safety course for Florida recreational boaters.

      The course, which is approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and meets state boating safety education requirements, can be taken at the student’s own pace. After passing the exam, they can print their own certificate of completion for immediate use and will receive a lifetime card from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.  

      The course provides video demonstrations and sample common boating situations for students to interact with to better understand how to evaluate real-world instances. The learning experience includes storylines where the student “boats” to various places and includes interactive learning tools like flashcards and drag-and-drop features to enhance learning and retention. Course-takers will be able to design and name the virtual boat that takes them through the course and map how far they’ve “traveled” within it. 

       

      In the state of Florida, anyone born on or after January 1, 1988, who operates a vessel powered by 10 horsepower or more must pass an approved boating safety course and have in his/her possession photographic identification and proof of boating safety education completion issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. 

      The online BoatUS Foundation boating safety course and exam are approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard as exceeding the minimum requirements for the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. 

      “NASBLA approval of our Florida Boating Safety Course is a meaningful investment in boater safety, said Lynne O’Hearn, Program Manager at BoatUS Foundation. “Boater education is one of the most effective ways to prevent accidents, and this course gives Florida boaters the opportunity to build their skills to better enjoy Florida waterways safely.”  

      To take the course, visit BoatUS.org/Florida. For more information about Florida boating safety education, visit myfwc.com/boating/safety-education. 

      About BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water: 

      The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water is a national leader promoting safe, clean and responsible boating. Funded primarily by donations from the more than 740,000 members of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS), the nonprofit provides innovative educational outreach directly to boaters and anglers with the aim of reducing accidents and fatalities, increasing stewardship of America’s waterways, and keeping boating safe for all. A range of safe and clean boating courses – including the nation’s only free online boating safety course – can be found at BoatUS.org/Courses.

      Antarctic Ice Melt – Fred Pickhardt

      Antarctic Ice Melt

      Will this lead to massive sea level rise?

       
      		 
      		 
      		 
       

      READ IN APP

       

       

      Antarctica is 98% ice covered and contains 90 percent of Earth’s total ice volume. Melting ice is limited mainly to West Antarctica which is offset by ice mass gains over the remainder of Antarctica.

        

      The mass of the Antarctic ice sheet has changed over the last decades. Research based on observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites (2002-2025) and GRACE Follow-On (since 2018) indicates that between 2002 and 2025, Antarctica shed approximately 135 gigatons of ice per year, causing global sea level to rise by 0.4 millimeters per year. Since 2020, however, the Antarctic has seen little or no ice mass loss.

        

       

      At this rate, an additional 28 mm (1.1 inches) of sea level rise can be anticipated by 2100. If the Antarctic ice melt would triple between now and 2100 we should expect an additional 42 mm (1.7 inches) of sea level rise due to Antarctic melt.

      re‑Cruising Season Prep: Book Early & Relax Through the Holidays Watermakers, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

      Welcome to the Staniel Cay Yacht Club, your own paradise in the middle of the beautiful Exumas.

      Watermakers reverse osmosis desalination equipment of Fort Lauderdale was developed by Joe Hocher, who also founded Staniel Cay Yacht Club, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR.

       
      Get Ahead Of The Cruising Season

      Why act now?

      √  Pre‑season tune‑ups & early‑bird savings: A quick check of your systems now means fewer surprises when you’re ready to cast off — and if you book by December  1 (service completed by December  31,  2025), you’ll save 15 % using promo code GETAHEAD15. 

      √  Upgrade options & future‑proofing: Looking to enhance your boat’s fresh‑water system? We can map out upgrades now so they’re ready by spring.
