Boating Safety And Education

In November, we spoke with Captain Jared Simonetti of Clearwater Fishing Company, who expressed support for a proposal aimed at enhancing boater safety. According to Captain Simonetti, there is a need for more measures to be in place to protect boaters, particularly those who are new to the area or inexperienced. "Many individuals assume that boating is a simple and unrestricted activity... allowing them to operate vessels at high speeds without regard for safety or regulations," Captain Simonetti said.

He emphasized the importance of educating boaters to promote a better understanding of the waterways and responsible behavior. "It's crucial that we implement measures that encourage boaters to take the necessary steps to understand the environment and each other's actions," Captain Simonetti added. He believes that taking safety courses is an essential step towards achieving this goal.

Captain Simonetti's concern stems from the increasing congestion on the waterways... which he believes necessitates a more proactive approach to boating safety.
