CINP Boat Transportation Safety Information and Self Assessment Form

Traveling aboard the Channel Islands National Park Service Vessels is a wonderful experience for our volunteers. They are true ‘working vessels’ carrying staff and materials to and from the 5 national park islands each week. There are safety considerations and physical requirements that must be taken into consideration before signing up for a volunteer trip aboard these vessels in order to maintain the safety of all of our volunteers.

Please do the following:

  • Read the boat transportation guide
  • Watch the boat safety videos, and
  • Submit the online self assessment form linked below before your scheduled volunteer day. For the online sef assessment, input david_mazurkiewicz@nps.gov as your Supervisor/Park point of contact. He is the seabird biologist and Channel Islands National Park liaison for CIES. Mark your affiliation as volunteer.
