    National Safe Boating Council and Bark Buckle UP Partner to Deliver Safe Boating Message

    PRWeb – Fri, Jul 1, 2011

    Not only humans need to be safe while boating, animals need to “Wear It!” also

    (PRWEB) July 01, 2011

    As we enter the long holiday weekend, the National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) and Bark Buckle UP are partnering to remind boaters about the importance that all members of the family – even the furry ones – need to wear a life jacket. This July 4 weekend and all summer long, make sure to take precautions while boating, including taking a boating course, having a proper lookout, and having everyone onboard “Wear It!”

    To continue promoting this important message, the NSBC and Bark Buckle UP are joining Fox and Friends LIVE Sunday, July 10, 2011 to deliver important boating safety information. The news segment will air Sunday morning and will center around the importance of life jacket wear at all times while boating for everyone onboard, including the family pet, as well as other important boating safety tips.

    Bark Buckle UP founder Christina Selter “Pet Safety Lady” was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal article for pet travel safety as she has buckled up more then 10,000 pets in cars, making her the legitimate go-to pet travel expert. “As the only pet expert that has secured more then 3,000 pets in life jackets before barely escaping Hurricane Gustav, I believe partnering with the National Safe Boating Council is best way to educate the public to Buckle UP pets on boats; ‘Wear It!’ goes for pets too!”

    “The National Safe Boating Council is excited to deliver its ‘Wear It!’ campaign message to an entirely new audience: the family pet!” remarks Virgil Chambers, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council. “During busy boating weekends, such as the July 4 weekend, and throughout the summer, wearing your life jacket is important to keep everyone onboard safe, no exceptions.”

    Life jacket wear by every boater is the leading goal of the North American Safe Boating Campaign, which kicks off officially with National Safe Boating Week, May 21 – 27, 2011. The North American Safe Boating Campaign unites the efforts of a wide variety of boating safety advocates, including NASBLA, the Canadian Safe Boating Council and the many members of the National Safe Boating Council. The campaign is produced under a grant from the Sports Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard.
