Be careful on the water
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency participated in the eighth annual Operation Dry Water weekend which was held last weekend.. Operation Dry Water is a national weekend of Boating Under the Influence (BUI) awareness and enforcement campaign directed toward reducing alcohol and drug-related accidents and fatalities. Reports from the TWRA’s four regions indicated 10 boating BUI arrests across the state, and TWRA boating officers inspected 4,078 vessels, issued 175 citations, 113 warnings, and assisted 94 boaters. There were four injury accidents and three property damage accidents reported. TWRA officials remind all those who visit the state’s waterways for the July 4 holiday to be safe for what is annually one of the busiest boating times of the year. Officials also emphasize the use of personal flotation devices while boating in a safe and responsible manner. TWRA officers will be on the look-out for dangerous boating behavior, such as BUI and other reckless operation.
