Free boat safety inspections being offered

Sport anglers and boaters are encour­aged to keep recre­ational fish­ing and boat­ing safe and plea­sur­able by tak­ing advan­tage of free ves­sel safety inspec­tions. These inspec­tions are offered by the Ohio Depart­ment of Nat­ural Resources’ Divi­sion of Water­craft.
Boat safety inspec­tions of the sea­son are being offered by the Divi­sion of Water­craft on March 14 and March 24 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Mazurik Boat Ramp located in Dan­bury Town­ship just east of Port Clin­ton. Also, safety inspec­tions this month are being held in Oak Har­bor. An inspec­tion will be held on March 25 at Tur­tle Creek Camp­ground from 2–3 p.m. Two other inspec­tions will be held at Fen­wick Marina, with one on March 30 from 5–6 p.m. and another on March 31 from 9–10 a.m.
Free to the pub­lic, more than 70 safety inspec­tions have been sched­uled statewide through early June. These inspec­tions help increase safety aware­ness just as many Ohioans are launch­ing their boats for the first time this year. A com­plete list­ing of ves­sel safety inspec­tions may be found at http://ohiodnr.com/watercraft/areas/tabid/2487/Default.aspx.
