Boating Safety in New Mexico

Body
GRANTS, NM - According to the New Mexico State Parks Division of the Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department, safety is a growing concern when it comes to boating in New Mexico. Runoff of melting snow due to rising temperatures is filling New Mexico's rivers, streams, reservoirs, and lakes, such as Bluewater Lake. This can lead to dangerous conditions for residents who boat and swim without having taken a safety course. Records indicate that over the last five years, more than 84 percent of boating deaths in New Mexico occurred in situations where the boat operator had never taken a safety course.
