The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) is teaming up with the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) next week as part of the Spring Aboard campaign to encourage boaters to enroll in a boating education course. An informed and knowledgeable boat operator is much more likely to recognize hazardous conditions on the water and avoid a boating mishap.
"Once again this year, DEM is working in partnership with state boating officials throughout the country to encourage boaters to Spring Aboard and take a safety course," said Lieutenant Steven Criscione, boating safety coordinator for DEM's Division of Law Enforcement. "All boaters have a duty to be responsible for themselves and for those on their vessel. This spring, while you're getting your boat readied for the water, prepare yourself for a safe boating season by taking a boater education course. With the wide variety of classroom and online offerings, there's a program to fit every boater's schedule."
