Small Boats
The CMS small research vessel fleet ranges from small motorboats to larger vessels capable of estuarine and nearshore operations. These vessels are available for use by UNCW certified boat operators. Boat Operator’s certification will normally be restricted to faculty, staff, and graduate students of UNCW. The Small Boats Coordinator oversees maintenance, daily operations, and safety issues as they arise.
