The document discusses the development and goals of Navigation Rules Awareness II, an online boating safety program. It provides an overview of the program's content which focuses on the top violations identified in boating accident statistics. The program uses an entertaining "edutainment" approach to instruct viewers on navigation rules through explanatory videos. It also describes effectiveness testing using pre- and post-quizzes to measure knowledge gained after viewing lessons. The goal is to increase awareness of navigation rules in support of the US Coast Guard's strategic plan.
