2011 North American Safe Boating Campaign

http://www.safeboatingcampaign.com/ WEAR IT!
Welcome to the 2011 North American Safe Boating Campaign!  As National Safe Boating Week (May 21–27, 2011) and the season approaches, we are preparing for another campaign to spread the message of safe and responsible boating.  This year, we will continue to educate the boating community about life jacket wear and the options that are available when it comes to comfortable and lightweight life jackets (Life Jacket Information).  We are also working closely with our partner organizations to create a larger grassroots network and create a more consistent campaign message.  We are hoping these collaborative efforts will increase awareness about the importance of always wearing life jackets while on the water.

About The Wear It Florida Campaign

Hi there! Welcome to the Wear It Florida site. This site is likely to be the most exiting and innovative effort aimed at saving lives on Florida’s waterways. Did you know that Florida has the unfortunate distinction of leading the nation in the annual number of boating deaths? It’s true. You probably also didn’t know that most of the people who die on Florida’s water lost their lives as a result of drowning.
