Life jackets should be made mandatory for all boaters and other personal water crafts of all ages at all times

The Issue

Each year on average, 180 people drown from boating accidents and out of these 180, 85% can be prevented by a life jacket. This has been a very large issue that has been ignored by legislation for quite some time now. With the help from you and media and government attention, this can be implamented as a law and can save lives.
