Editorial practice
It is important to remember that the AuxBWiki is intended to be a source for recreational boating safety (RBS) partnership information. As such the information should presented in a way that will help others successfully reproduce best practices. Language should be simple and direct, using correct spelling and grammar. [mailto:bjoh@seascout.org Email us] with questions, or to have us put your partnership idea online for you.
