🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR definitions related to protected, partially protected, and exposed waters • The role of the OCMI (Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection) in designating water types • How Great Lakes and distance from safe refuge are usually treated in stability and route regulations

💭 Think About

• Look at which options are clearly designations made by regulation or by the OCMI, and which look more like a general description rather than a defined category • Think about how the term “partially protected waters” compares to “protected waters”—which choice sounds like it actually describes fully protected, not partially protected? • Consider whether the Great Lakes are normally treated as protected, partially protected, or exposed for regulatory purposes, and whether that is seasonal or year-round

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR how “partially protected waters” is defined and what examples are explicitly included • Check whether distance from a harbor of safe refuge (e.g., 20 NM) is part of the formal definition • Confirm whether Great Lakes have a special classification and whether it is tied to a seasonal period in the regulations
