boating under the influence
Boating under the influence accounts for 25% of all deaths on California waterways
Over a 2-year time period for Northern California, there were 487 boating crashes, that led to 261 injuries and 66 fatalities.
Alcohol is even more hazardous on the water. The marine environment, motion, vibration, engine noise, sun, wind and spray all accelerate the impairment effect. In fact, at .035 percent, a boater’s ability to operate a boat is impaired. MADD works with the Michael and Ina Korek Foundation for the boating under the influence awareness campaign and all the work we do is in memory of Korek family members, Sophie and Cynthia who were killed by drunk boater in 2012 on Lake Englebright.
