During National Safe Boating Week, National Safe Boating Council prepared campaigns to spread the message of safe and responsible boating. This year, the Council educated the boating community about life jacket wear. More than 45,500 people around the world have participated in this fun and educational boating safety event since 2010. Boaters gather at family-friendly events around the world to inflate their own inflatable life jacket or to wear an inherently buoyant life jacket, helping to heighten awareness of boating safety issues and go for a world record for the most life jackets for jackets worn along the way! Event participants are tallied after each event, and events with the most participants receive prizes. Visit www.safeboatingcampaign.com for resources on the campaign.
Also each year, BTAT requests that the Governor’s Office Proclaim a “Safe Boating Week” in Texas.
