Maritime Forum Charter - Read Before Posting

Trojan

ALL FORUM USERS, PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING.

Welcome to the Maritime forum.

This forum is for discussion encompassing any and all professional/commercial activity related to salty water: commercial sea fishing, merchant shipping, mariculture, marine pollution/conservation, tragedy at sea, etc.

For maritime activities which are leisure oriented (small boats, dinghies, yachting etc.) as opposed to commercial, the Sailing & Boating forum is generally a more appropriate place for posting on those subjects. Other forums that might be useful include Angling, Surfing, Swimming, Scuba Diving, Canoeing & Kayaking, Extreme Sports and Outdoor Pursuits.

This forum is intended for discussion of all things living in or working on the salty sea, by fellow users, and as a place to exchange tips and advice. Be aware that this is an open public forum. You will not always get people with the same views as yourself.

If you feel a post is insulting use the report post function ( bottom left hand side of each post ) or send a pm to any one of the moderators listed at the bottom of each forum page.
