A visit to the MP’s FAQ page clearly explains the program in plain English, and its anticipated benefits in boater safety and formulating future boating regulations.
The September issue of Boating Magazine has a full-page article on SOBOS, explaining it in the same manner Skip has pointed out on the MP's website. There is also more information available at SOBOS.org.
