Bridging the Boating Safety Gap Interview RecRuitment

We have closed the online form at this time and are not taking any other volunteers. Thank you for your interest.

You’re invited to participate in a one-on-one interview as part of a research study being conducted for the Sea Tow Foundation. This project is funded through a grant from the Sport Fish Restoration & Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The purpose of the study is to better understand how the boating industry—specifically boat manufacturers, dealers, and accessory brands—views the idea of promoting boating safety directly to consumers in order to better understand the overall industry’s opinions and attitudes on the subject.

What to Expect:

• A 45-minute Zoom interview, scheduled at your convenience, during the period of 6/30/25 - 7/18/25.
• Confidential participation—only the research team will have access to your identifiable information, and any reports that are generated will anonymize all responses
• A $100 VISA gift card will be provided within 48 hours of completing the interview as a thank-you for your time

While you may not directly benefit from this study, your involvement and insights could help shape new tools and ready-made materials that make it easier and more cost-effective for industry partners to support boating safety.

Participation is entirely voluntary. You may skip any question or stop the interview at any time.  The decision you make about whether or not to participate will not affect your current or future relationship with the Sea Tow Foundation. Please note that not everyone who signs up to participate will be chosen to be interviewed.
