This report contains statistics on numbered boats and recreational boating accidents, and information on boating safety activities for calendar year 1998. States and jurisdictions with Federally approved boat numbering systems file official reports which the Coast Guard uses to provide the boat numbering statistics. Coast Guard numbering records cover the State of Alaska, which does not have a numbering system. Data for the accident statistics come from three sources: (1) Boating Accident Report data forwarded to the Coast Guard by jurisdictions with an approved numbering and casualty reporting system; (2) reports submitted directly to the Coast Guard in Alaska; and (3) reports of Coast Guard investigations of fatal boating accidents that occurred on waters under Federal jurisdiction. Recreational Boating Accident Investigation data are used if submitted to the Coast Guard and are relied on as much as possible to provide accurate accident statistics. In the absence of investigations, information is collected from the accident reports filed by boat operators.
