"Prioritize Water Safety: Essential Tips for Boating Season"

During National Safe Boating Week, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reminds boaters to follow the rules of the water, including slowing down in no-wake zones to prevent damage to docks and boats, as well as water pollution. For those renting boats, it's important to check that the rental company is following the law and providing proper safety equipment. Manatees are also at risk from boat traffic, and it's important to follow manatee protection rules in certain areas.
