Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Civil Air Patrol,

Owners
of appropriate boats can also contribute by doing channel
surveys, using a depth sounder. Members without boats can
participate in the program in any of four ways: by serving as
crew on a member's boat, by turning in reports on marina
facilities, by checking aeronautical charts, (from a car), for
correctness, or by reporting on the condition of geodetic survey
markers, or benchmarks. These markers are used in surveying and
map making, and finding them is like a treasure hunt.The
