What is the first action required of a boat operator who witnesses a boating accident?

  1. Call the coast guard

  2. Provide assistance

  3. Make a note of the accident location

  4. Continue boating

The correct answer is: Provide assistance

Boat operators are required to provide assistance in case of a boating accident, as stated in the Navigation Rules. This assistance may include pulling the person out of the water, providing first aid, or contacting the appropriate authorities. Calling the coast guard (A) may be necessary in some cases, but providing immediate assistance is the first and most important action. Making note of the accident location (C) is also important, but it should not be the first action taken as the priority is to help those involved in the accident. Continuing boating (D) without offering assistance or reporting the accident is not a responsible or moral course of action.
