The twin principles guiding these policies are that IMS facility use should be both safe and efficient. Marine Sciences is an interesting and exciting field. IMS exists to expedite teaching , research and service in the marine environment. Unfortunately travel into marine habitats involves some risk. The boats and motors used in marine field work are especially dangerous if misused , and variable ocean weather can put even careful field workers at risk. Efficiency, although clearly a secondary priority to safety, is also important.  \nInefficient use of limited facilities is wasteful and causes unnecessary stress on others. You can help the Institute remain a safe, pleasant and productive place to work by following the procedures described in this manual and by using courtesy and commonsense in all your IMS activities. Suggestions for improvements of these policies and procedures are always welcome.  \nThis manual supersedes boating information in IMS POLICY/PROCEDURES MANUAL dated 2007.  \nCONTENTS  \nIntroduction, Application, and Responsibilities ......................................................3  \nRequirements for Certification ..............................................................................7  \nOutline for Using Motorized Boats ........................................................................8  \nOutline for Using Kayaks or Canoes...……………..........…………………………14  \nEmergency Radio Procedures ............................................................................15  \nMarine Fisheries Radio Procedures ....................................................................16  \nHypothermia Survival Tips ..................................................................................17  \nFloat Plan Form ...................................................................................................19  \nTrip Summary and Maintenance Form ................................................................20  \nBoating Release Form.........................................................................................21  \nAccident Report Form .........................................................................................22  \nList of IMS Boats and Trucks ..............................................................................23  \nVessel Limitations and Requirements .................................................................24  \n17 ft.

These include non-motorized kayaks and canoes and motorboats that range in length from 17 ft to 25 ft. The latter are paired with outboard motors that range in size from 40 hp to 250 hp.
