Each year, dozens of boaters in Florida drown in boating accidents. In many of these cases, the use of a life jacket (personal flotation device) may have saved the victim’s life. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, and all of its partners, ask those who enjoy Florida’s waters to always wear a life jacket while on the water. Do it for yourself and do it for your family. Life jackets save lives!
