Abstract Maryland boat owners (N = 291) in the Chesapeake Bay region were surveyed to examine predictors of general responsible environmental behavior (GREB), representing pro-environmental action on a general level, and specific responsible environmental behavior (SREB), indicated by the percentage of raw sewage boaters discharged from recreational vessels in a sewage pumpout station (SPS). A conceptual framework of responsible environmental behavior, adapted from prior environmental education research, was used as a guide for this investigation. Nineteen independent variables categorized as sociodemographic variables, boating background variables, general environmental variables, specific-issue variables, and situational factors to SPS usage constituted the indicators hypothesized to predict behavior. A stepwise multiple regression analysis yielded 8 predictors of SREB (percentage of waste pumped in a pumpout station) that explained 46% of the total variance. Surprisingly, 3 background variables, includ...
