Operation Dry Water -June : Because Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is responsible for 19% of all boating fatalities. LASD

From June 22 (Fri.), through June 24, 2012 (Sun.) deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Parks Bureau will participate in “Operation Dry Water.”

This is a nationally coordinated weekend of boating under the influence (BUI) detection and enforcement aimed at reducing the number of alcohol and drug related accidents and fatalities. The goal is to foster a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol and drug use on the water in an effort to educate boaters about boating under the influence.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will increase its presence in the Marina del Rey boating area, and at both Castaic Lake and Pyramid Lake during Operation Dry Water by conducting traffic stops and BUI sobriety check points.
