Rich Graham, small craft safety

zations was a factor that let to the
increased enforcement of drinking
and boating restrictions.

The task force study indicated
that, while alcohol was a signifi-
cant factor in boating drownings,
most people were unaware of the
tisk and knew that their chance of
being caught consuming alcohol
while boating was small.

In addition to enforcement, the
study recommended a board pub-
lic education campaign which will
be undertaken by the Red Cross.

“Enforcement combined with
public education has had a signifi-
cant effect on drinking drivers. We
want to have the same impact on
drinking boaters,” said Mollet.

“T'll issue a warning now to
anyone who’s planning to be

_ drinking on their boat. We will be

actively patrolling.”
