KDFW urges boater safety over July 4 holiday From the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources game wardens will be increasing patrols across the state to help keep Kentucky's waterways safe over the upcoming Independence Day holiday. This increased effort is held in conjunction with "Operation Dry Water," a heightened awareness and enforcement campaign designed to educate the public about the dangers of boating under the influence (BUI). The campaign facilitates a national focus on BUI detection and enforcement, aiming to reduce the number of alcohol- and drug-related incidents and fatalities around the July 4 holiday each year. "Vessel operators decide whether to drink alcohol and boat under the influence, and many times the decision to do so has deadly results," said Maj. David Marques, assistant director of Law Enforcement for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. "Our game wardens will be out on the water throughout the holiday to observe for those who may show impairment not just from alcohol but from drugs as well."
