Play it safe on the water
7/2/2008
Nationwide recreational boating is one of the fastest growing outdoor activities, and Virginia is no exception. The number of registered boats in the Commonwealth exceeds 250,000 and Virginia is a prime boating destination for out-of-state visitors. This figure does not include kayaks, canoes or non-motorized sailboats. In an attempt to keep Virginia’s busy waterways safe for all citizens to enjoy, Virginia conservation police officers launched Operation SWEEP – Safer Waterways through Enforcement and Education Programs – last summer. During the start-up phase of this program 109 patrols were conducted resulting in 1,163 boat inspections; 203 warnings were issued and 294 arrests were made which included 14 arrests for operating boats either under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
