Marine Safety Officers continue to visit boat ramps and coastal and river waters across the State to check that people are operating their boats safely and carrying all the right safety equipment.

Many boaters continue to operate vessels while not wearing or carrying lifejackets, not carrying flares or carrying expired flares, missing one to two required items of safety equipment, and speeding. 66% of vessels checked in the last 12 months were 100% compliant, which is a 3% improvement compared to last year.
