It’s Louisiana Safe Boating Week
We're known for our outdoor activities here in Louisiana, and as summer is approaching, it's always good to review boating safety before you hit the water. We had 20 fatalities in 2018 from boating accidents, and so far this year there have been five, so it's very important to pay attention to what you're doing out on the water.
It's National Safe Boating Week, and below are a few reminders from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries for you and your family. Enjoy your summer, and be careful out there, y'all!
