On the basis of its study the Commission recommends:

l. That no new State agency charged with marine patrol responsibilities be created;

2. That a State subsidy, financed by marine inotor fuel tax revenues, be provided for one half of local marine patrol budgets, not to exceed ten dollars per motorboat registered in the locality;

3. That concrete steps be taken by State agencies operating watercraft, the Department of State Police, local law-enforcement agencies, and the United States Coast Guard to improve interagency cooperation and coordination, especially concentrating on upgrading and inter-linking their radio communications systems; and

4. That the Congress be memorialized to adopt legislation which would return to the States for boating-related programs those funds derived from federal taxes on motorboat fuel.
