Following a boating accident, the operator or owner of the vessel must notify which entity if certain conditions apply?

  1. The nearest marina

  2. The Arkansas game and fish commission or local sheriff's department

  3. The U.S. Coast Guard

  4. Their insurance company

The correct answer is: The Arkansas game and fish commission or local sheriff's department

Following a boating accident, the operator or owner of the vessel must notify the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission or local sheriff's department if certain conditions apply. This is because these entities have jurisdiction over the waterways and are responsible for enforcing boating laws and regulations. The other options, such as the nearest marina, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the insurance company, may also need to be notified in certain situations, but they are not the primary authority in charge of handling boating accidents. Therefore, options A, C, and D are not the best choices for this scenario.
