National Safe Boating Week is held each year during the week before Memorial Day weekend.
The goal of National Safe Boating Week is to educate the public about safe boating and wearing life jackets, the release says.
In 2020, boating saw a substantial increase, and the TWRA reported an increase in traffic on Tennessee lakes and rivers, the release says.
2020 also recorded the most boating-related fatalities in 37 years, with 32 reported, the release says.
Friday, May 21 is Wear Your Life Jacket to Work day, and boaters can share photos of themselves wearing a life jacket to work or at home on social media with the hashtage #lifejacket2work and tag @boatingcampaign or email outreach@safeboatingcouncil.org.
Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Conservation Police have stepped up patrols and are reminding boaters to play it safe while enjoying their time on the water as part of National Safe Boating Week, May 22-28.
