As a part of Operation Paddle Smart, the Coast Guard provides small, bright orange, waterproof stickers that are reflective and have space for the owner’s name and two phone numbers. When attached to a vessel, these stickers can help rescuers determine the best search area to begin looking for a mariner in distress or return a lost vessel that has simply drifted away.
