Boating Safety for July 4th

New Hampshire’s Marine Patrol is stepping up for the Fourth of July, ready to keep boaters safe as the nation celebrates its 250th birthday. With nearly 3,000 calls last year, they’re expecting big crowds—and big risks. Officers will be watching for speeding, improper lights, and boating under the influence, which led to 14 arrests last year. Over 1,800 warnings and 275 tickets were issued, with fines up to $200. Life jackets are mandatory for kids under 13, and everyone should carry their license, registration, and boater education card. The goal? Fun on the water—with everyone getting home safe.
