▪Exponential decline of “No Exchange”
- Growing levels of enforcement
▪Significant amount sourced from PCR
- Vessels unfamiliar with the rules?
- Not considering islands?
▪What’s Next?
- Connecting BWD Location with BWS Location

ROV Testing
CSLC: Serving the Public Trust Since 1938 20 CSLC: Serving the Public Trust Since 1938 20
▪Greater enforcement → Greater compliance
- ROV as a tool for enforcement
▪Program effectiveness is growing ▪The need for outreach remains
- Small mistakes from one vessel can cause
big problems
