This is a contraction of Marine Reporting. It is a cooperative program with the federal government's Canadian Hydrographic Service to keep marine charts up to date. Members are encouraged to report to us any features, above or below the water line, which are not indicated on your chart or are out of place to the safety officer Bill Kerr & the OPSS webmaster. The information will then be passed along to the government agency and this web site so that all boaters can be made aware.
