well, according to the website for the FAQ of Marine Police in Alabama...

"The Marine Police Division is responsible for public safety on the State's waterways and registration of pleasure vessels. The officers of the Division have full police powers and are an integral part of the State's law enforcement community. Officers patrol their assigned area to prevent accidents, enforce boating safety laws and assist the boating public. Their routine duties include enforcement of boating laws, investigation of boating accidents and drowning, search and rescue, preparation of court cases and testimony, and conducting boating safety education programs. The Division maintain year-round patrol of the waterways and expects and encourages it's officers to work cooperatively with other law enforcement agencies."

I would think that helping someone stuck on a sandbar would qualify as "assisting the boating public"

If nothing else, go by and make sure someone does not do anything silly and then call the tow service that is on the lake.

There were two people that drowned at Lake Lanier due to inexperience and trying to get a pontoon boat off a sandbar.
