As of right now we we handle it through email blasts to subscribers from the Local Notice To Mariners just like everyone else. There are several folks that republish the LNM in a different format and post it on sites like BoatUS forums and others. In addition we have had discussions with them on how we might get the information as it is available rather than waiting for the published LNM. The oil spill has been on everyones mind and we are in touch constantly with the Response Center to squash any rumors and get correct and verified information. We don't get access to their computers or anything like that, just simple phone calls and emails. We send out any information we feel is pertinent via email blast and posts on our website immediately. Nothing too fancy but it works and the information gets out there. Chuck
