Public Information Statement

Statement as of 6:54 AM EDT on May 24, 2013


The National Weather Service and the National safe boating Council,
have partnered for National safe boating week from may 18 to may 24.
This week will highlight relevant weather... and safety specific
public service announcements... for the recreational boating public.

Todays topic is about boating under the influence.

The effects of alcohol can be even more hazardous on the water than
on land. Boating under the influence... or b.U.I... affects
judgment... vision... balance and coordination. These impairments can
increase the risk of being involved in a boating accident... for both
passengers and boat operators. Alcohol is a contributing factor in
about a third of all recreational boating fatalities.

It is illegal to operate any boat or watercraft while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs in every state. Penalties can include fines, suspension
or revocation of your drivers license and even jail time.

Every boater needs to understand the risks of boating under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
