Here is a challenge for our sleuths.
Document which Maritime channels are in use at:
Bear Lake Marina
Lucerne Marina at Manila in Daggett County
Strawberry Marina
Lake Powell
Any other body of water large enough for a government marina.

FYI, Channel 16 is always in use, so you don't need to suggest it.
While camping out at Manila, scanner traffic was scant, so I started searching the maritime channels.
The Marina had a US Coast Guard Auxiliary, and they used a maritime government channel for their ops.
Every day, the wind would pick up and boaters had to be rescued. (towed back to the marina)
While camping at Strawberry, a boat had an explosion.

Like any other public place, they have to enforce laws for excessive speed, liquor violations, and other reckless behavior.
I can't find any of my old records that show what maritime channels the marinas were using when I was there.
But in the interest of scanning in Utah, I'm starting this thread.

I would imagine that any law enforcement traffic would be heard on the new system on a DNR talk group. I would scan all of the marine frequencies, as well as a TG range of 2400-2420. Having Close Call enabled would also be a good idea.

On the Wyoming side of Flaming Gorge, you would need to monitor the SALECS 5 TG on WyoLink in order to hear Game & Fish, as well as State Parks. WyoLink TG Category: State Agency Law Enforcement Communications System

The Great Salt lake has a lot of traffic on the VHF Marine band/channels. Mostly the "Shrimpers", and they are often encrypted. I have heard some trucker traffic on these channels as well.

DNR TG 2408 was in use this week , seemed like DNR Car to Car type? Tgs 2407 and 2409 are in the DB but not 2408, anyone else confirm? also the marine channels in my area are mostly the rocky mountain power Mpt1327 control channels which are annoying.. thats all I've picked up on those since I don't get out much...

Scofield doesn't seem to use the marine channels as much as I could ever tell, I could be wrong , I don't scan thos so if they do I've not picked up on it...
