•       MAREP is a coined word, short for MARine information REPorting. Originally MAREP  encompassed Weather and Hydrography. Weather across Canada varies from Coast to Coast. Automated lighthouses and weather stations have all but replaced the on water MAREP weather program. This is not to imply that we should not participate with CCG on our VHF radio, should weather conditions worsen for a predicted time and in a geographical location.
