AGFC Urges Boaters to Close Out Summer with a Safe Labor Day
As summer draws to a close, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) is reminding boaters to take necessary precautions for a safe Labor Day Weekend on the water.
For many, Labor Day signifies the end of the boating season, marking a significant shift in focus from water activities to autumnal pursuits. The AGFC wants to ensure that boaters savor these final days of summer without compromising their safety.
To prevent accidents and fatalities, boaters are advised to exercise extra caution. This includes wearing life jackets, being aware of submerged stumps and shallow areas, and avoiding reckless behavior.
The AGFC encourages its subject matter experts, such as biologists and wildlife officers, to speak to the media about any matter within their areas of expertise. General inquiries can be directed to the Communications Division, stressing the importance of responsible communication in promoting a safe boating environment.
In addition to the AGFC’s efforts, the Coast Guard also emphasizes safe boating practices over the Labor Day Weekend, highlighting the importance of responsible maritime activities.
By heeding these warnings and guidelines, boaters in Arkansas can enjoy a memorable and incident-free Labor Day Weekend.
