BOATER SAFETY
	
Boating season is here. And with more people on the water, it is 
important keep safety in mind when boating, paddling, fishing or 
just relaxing on the lake.

Always remember that:

*	Before you set out on your boat, take one of the many 
boater safety courses offered by Texas Parks and 
Wildlife and their partners.

*	Everyone on your boat should wear a lifejacket at all 
times.

*	Filing a float plan that includes where you will be, what 
time you will return, and who is on the boat with you, 
will help others to locate you should you run into 
problems.

For more information or to locate a boater safety course near you,
