The U.S. Coast Guard encourages boaters to wear properly-fitted, Coast Guard-approved life jackets, and file a float plan before getting underway by telling someone where they are going and when they plan to return. In 2017, 84.5 percent of reported drowning victims were not wearing life jackets. (U.S. Coast Guard video by Petty Officer 3rd Class Shannon Kearney)
