Wear A Life Jacket, Boat Responsibly On Wisconsin Waters
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) anticipates an increase in boating, paddling, fishing and other watersport activities heading into the holiday weekend.
Life Jackets Save Lives
In 2024, there were 14 boating fatalities, 10 of which involved a victim who was not wearing a life jacket. Operator inexperience, inattention, recklessness and speeding are the four leading causes of tragic watercraft crashes, with the leading cause of death being drowning.
