All of these items are important and cover a wide range of potential accident scenarios. In addition. I offered an amendment to H.R. 1841 to instruct the Secretary to consider the requirement that certain vessels. either documented or undocumented. carry a Coast Guard approved buoyant apparatus or life ring. This flotation device is particularly appropriate for vessels. like the Northwest gillnet boats that fish in close proximity to each other. or some of the smaller trollers and trawlers where fasthappening accidents render the crew members incapable of securing other safety equipment or sending a distress signal. The case of the F/V McKinley illustrates my point.
