CLEARWATER, FL – The Safe Boating Campaign, a worldwide effort focused on responsible boating led by the National Safe Boating Council, has the largest online library of FREE resources to encourage new and experienced boaters to choose to boat responsibly.
“At the National Safe Boating Council, we are committed to creating a safe boating experience for all recreational boaters,” said Peg Phillips, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council. “No matter your ability, age, color, or shape, we encourage you to connect with local partners in your community to learn how you can enjoy the best day on the water.”
The Safe Boating Campaign collaborates with partners around the world to share about safe boating in their local communities through events, social media, workshops, and more. This grassroots effort has created worldwide recognition of the Safe Boating Campaign with support from federal and state agencies, marinas, marine law enforcement, parks, training schools, and other boating safety advocates.
“We are excited to be a partner with the Safe Boating Campaign to provide more black and brown women and their families the opportunity to hold space and feel welcomed on the water,” said Tanya Walker, president and founder of Black Women Who, a nonprofit that empowers women and children to take part in outdoor activities across the U.S.
