Today we reflect and honor the brave spirit of the lives lost 22 years ago. The effects of 9/11 are far and forever reaching, we stand as one as we remember.

This summer, when swimming in lakes, ponds, and other natural bodies of water, be aware of tree limbs, rocks or other obstacles and steep drop-offs that can take you by surprise. More safety tips can be found at mass.gov/SwimSafe #SwimSafeMA
ALT What’s hiding under the surface? Hidden dangers can be deadly, even for experienced swimmers. Steep drop-offs can take you by surprise. Invisible currents that can sweep you away or tire you out. More distance to reach that island than you think. Cold water that can shock your system & impair your ability to react. Tree limbs, plants, rocks & other obstacles that you can get stuck on. More info: mass.gov/WaterSafety

Keep it simple - don't drink and boat!
Alcohol is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating incidents. MEP will be joining law enforcement agencies across the country who will be on heightened alert this weekend for those in violation of BUI laws. #ODW23
