The regulations require U.S. recreational boaters, if your
boat is 26 feet or more in length, to affix one or more
USCGTrashDumpingRestrictionsplacardstoyourboat.
The placard warns against the discharge of plastic and
other forms of garbage within the navigable waters of
the United States and specify discharge restrictions be-
yond the territorial sea. (The territorial sea generally ends
three nautical miles from the seashore.) In addition, the
placard must contain the warning that a person who vio-
lates these requirements is liable to civil ($25,000) and
criminal (Imprisonment) penalties. The placard also must
note that State and local regulations may further restrict
the disposal of garbage.
Operators shall display one or more placards in a promi-
nent location and in sufficient numbers so they can be
observed and read by crew and passengers. These lo-
cations might include embarkation points, food service
areas, galleys, garbage handling spaces and common
deck spaces frequented by crew and passengers. We
recommend that these placards may be purchased from
local marinas, boat dealerships and marine equipment
suppliers. A special placard is available for boats oper-
ating on the Great Lakes.
IMPORTANT: It is illegal to discharge waste from your
marine sanitary device (toilet) into the water in most ar-
eas. It is your responsibility to be aware of and adhere to
all local laws concerning waste discharge. Consult with
the Coast Guard, local marina or your dealer for addi-
tional information.
NOTE: Some states and localities have legal limits on
speed, noise and trailer specifications. It is your respon-
sibility to be aware of these laws and limits and to insure
that your boat (and trailer) comply. Consult with your
local Marine Patrol or local Coast Guard office.
