The Battalion
Officials encourage boaters to practice safety
By CARRIE MIURA
The Battalion
Gov. Ann Richards is encour
aging Texas boaters to "Boat
Smart" this week in celebration of
Texas Safe Boating Week.
Terry Erwin, Recreational
Programs Coordinator for the
Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department, said people need to
boat responsibly.

rules in the Texas Water Safety
Act," he said.
Erwin said many students are a

statistics report shows 50% of
boating fatalities nationwide are

the hot summer sun," Erwin said.
Erwin stressed the importance
of wearing a life preserver when
out on the water.
U.S. Coast Guard statistics
show that over 80% of boating
fatalities involve people not
wearing life jackets, he said.
Ben Flusch, an official from the
Boating Trades Association of
Texas, encouraged all people to
wear their life jackets.
"So many lives may be saved
by wearing a life saving device,"
he said.
Children ages 12 and under are
required by Texas laws to wear a
life preserver.
"Always wear your personal
flotation device, hold down your
speed and keep a sharp look out,"
Erwin said.
"Boaters must have a constant
awareness when out boating
because things such as wave
