Charter and Fishing Guide Operations

Post by sagbay » May 5th, 2020, 5:00 pm

Charter and fishing guide operations that involve boats, canoes and other marine vessels are not currently permitted. However, under provisions detailed in Executive Order 2020-70, these businesses may resume activities on May 7, 2020, provided they:

Prohibit gatherings of any size in which people cannot maintain six feet of distance from one another.
Limit in-person interaction with clients and patrons to the maximum extent possible, and barring any such interaction in which people cannot maintain six feet of distance from one another.
Provide personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, face shields, and face masks as appropriate for the activity being performed.
Adopt protocols to limit the sharing of tools and equipment to the maximum extent possible and to ensure frequent and thorough cleaning of tools, equipment, and frequently touched surfaces.
In addition to the DNR Law Enforcement Division, Michigan State Police and local law enforcement agencies have full authority to enforce the provisions of this order.

Executive Order No. 2020-70 section 10.f which allows for work that is traditionally and primarily performed outdoors.
