Contains detailed information about how and when to report to the Vessel Traffic Service Puget Sound (VTSPS) before, during, and after any travel through the VTSPS area. This information applies to sea kayakers. The Vessel Traffic Service Puget Sound facilitates “the safe and efficient transit of vessel traffic to assist in the prevention of collisions or groundings that could cost lives, property damage, or subject the waters of this beautiful area to environmental harm... Many regulations contained herein are applicable to all vessels, no matter the size, operating in the Vessel Traffic Service Puget Sound Area. While certain regulations are applicable only to vessels of certain length, tonnage, and/or engaged in certain specific activities, it is incumbent upon the operator of any vessel in this area to be familiar with the regulations for the particular type vessel being operated.“
