The Labor Day holiday, Sept. 2-4, is the final major weekend of the 2023 summer boating season. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is emphasizing the use of life jackets while boating in a safe and responsible manner.
In addition to children under age 12 who are required to wear a life jacket, there must also be a life jacket onboard the vessel for each person.
So far this year, there have been 20 boating-related fatalities.
