National Safe Boating Week brings boating safety to the public's attention, decreases the number of boating fatalities and makes the waterways safer for all boaters. Part of National Safe Boating Week is the Wear It! campaign, which promotes boating safety by encouraging boaters to wear life jackets at all times.
The North American Safe Boating Campaign is the leading national campaign designed to meet the needs of the recreational boating community through its broad-based, multi-faceted partnerships. Through these alliances on a variety of national, regional, and community-based scales, the campaign focuses on a family oriented and family targeted year-round education and safety awareness campaign. The campaign places specific focus on life jacket wear, educating and informing the recreational boating public about the different life jacket options that are currently available, including inflatable life jackets.
