PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT 
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
518 AM EDT SAT MAY 16 2015

THIS IS THE FIRST SAFE BOATING MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL SAFE 
BOATING COUNCIL AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FOR THIS YEAR'S 
SAFE BOATING WEEK.

THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL CAN BE EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS ON THE WATER THAN 
ON LAND. BOATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, OR BUI, 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 ANY 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.

WWW.SAFEBOATINGCOUNCIL.ORG.  VISIT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AT
