BOATING ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: How to Stay Safe on The Water
Stay sober and know the laws when operating a boat this upcoming holiday weekend, urges the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division. There were 109 boating accidents and 11 boating related fatalities in 2011 in Georgia, and conservation rangers made 168 boating under the influence arrests. Don't become a statistic!
“We know that many people will be on the water with family and friends during the upcoming holiday weekend,” says Col. Eddie Henderson, Chief of Law Enforcement. “In an effort to keep everyone safe, we encourage boat operators to stay sober and alert and know Georgia’s boating laws before heading out on the water.”
