Boat Operator Certification
Detailed Description
On September 16, 2014 staff from the Maine Office headed to the Kennebec River in Gardiner for their boat operator re-certification. The USGS routinely uses manned boats for discharge measurements on rivers throughout the state and after our initial training, are re-certified every 5 years.
