The 2017 National Safe Boating Week continues through Friday. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is participating to promote the wear of life jackets as the summer boating season begins.

Boating partners across the United States and Canada are teaming to promote safe boating practices, including the wear of life jackets throughout the 2017 boating season.

The goal of National Safe Boating Week is to educate the public about the importance of safe boating practices.
