Default Speaking of Boater ID

What am I required to carry here on an inland waterway in the US? I was
boarded by the Coast Guard last year, and the guy wanted to see a photo ID,
among other things. I had my wallet with me that day (which hasn't always
been the case) so I showed him my driver's license. Where would I find the
law on this sort of thing? State? Federal? Both?


In Georgia you need the Certificate of Boat Registration on board and a
government ID card of some kind. normally people just use their Drivers
License.
