GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- With the start of summer boating season, comes reminders about boating safety.
As boaters hit the water this weekend, spokesperson of the Fox River Clean Up Project Scott Stein says dredging operations are back underway, and that means boaters need to be aware of their surroundings.
“This is the tenth year for the dredging and capping operation, but the equipment moves around.”
Stein says even though the operation moves, the only way to be safe is to look out for areas that are well marked.
“We have markers and buoys out there to make sure people are aware of their location.”
Barges are in the process of dredging PCB’s from the river, and boaters should pay attention to what is around them.
Danger Pipeline signs mark the areas where the pipeline work is being done.
Along with watching for markers, Stein says boaters should stay within the reds and greens buoys, wear life vests and travel at safe speeds.
