Actually, they are at least required to take a 20 question test to make sure the bases are covered. Not that its the best solution... but it is something.
What is truly scary is that there is no visual aid for the MP to separate out who has a certificate vs. who doesn't. daytrippers and vacationers can just show up, plunk thier boats in and nobody knows if they have it or not.
You should read my proposal over in propellers post about "Weekend Observations" It isn't meant to be a speed limit debate, just a proposal that might make both sides happy and help out the MP's...
