Hear how Hunter's experiences in the for-profit and tournament sector of the fishing industry have led to new communication techniques to effectively deliver the boating safety message. Join him for tips and tricks on how we can effectively market to our target demographics in order to reduce water related tragedies.
Speaker: Hunter Bland, Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, Boating Safety Ambassador & Professional Bass Angler
One in five American families started a new outdoor habit during the pandemic, new research shows. The boating industry is booming as Americans turn to the water, and there’s no sign of the momentum slowing. With each of our programs, we work towards fulfilling our vision of helping create a safe experience for recreational boaters. The Safe Boating Campaign had to course adjust over the last two summers from an in-person grassroots outreach approach to a robust digital campaign, along with creative ways to reach boaters at launch points. The Life Jacket is the star of the show as you’ll see in our marketing content.
Speaker: Peg Phillips, National Safe Boating Council, Executive Director
Get the drift on a new program for boaters to assist the U.S. Coast Guard, local sheriff marine units and the Fish and Wildlife Commission. Aqua Alert would provide authorities with volunteers for those unique situations when extra “eyes on the water” would help during a lost at sea search. The inspiration, the Aqua Alert Pilot Program and the nation-wide vision, will be featured in this presentation. Bringing additional hope to water searches, these volunteers could be the answer to prayers.
Speaker: Judy Schink, Aqua Alert
Rapid Changing Cover Designs Enhance User WearabilityNASBLA
Rapidly changing life preserver cover designs aim to enhance user wearability by addressing typical complaints about styles and materials. Newer coated fabrics are lighter, softer, and more flexible than traditional stiff, heavy materials like coated vinyl. Fabric technology has advanced from early TPU generations to lighter membranes and softer polymers in newer versions. Continued innovation will require navigating UL testing standards for incremental and disruptive changes to components and materials.

The Success & Future Plans for the Sea Tow Foundation's Life Jacket Loaner P...NASBLA
The Sea Tow Foundation’s Life Jacket Loaner Program began in 2008 and, while there were a number of other loaner programs operating decades before, the Sea Tow Foundation learned from them and has developed a robust program that is easy for local organizations to implement and maintain. As we enter our 14th summer, the Sea Tow Foundation has been able to establish life jacket loaner stations in all 50 states as well as in D.C., American Samoa and the Virgin Islands and that is something that no other life loaner program can claim. Our other successes will be presented as well as discussion of our future plans for the Life Jacket Loaner Program in this session.
Speaker: Gail Kulp, Sea Tow Foundation, Executive Director
LJA and the U.S. National Water Safety Action PlanNASBLA
The U.S. National Water Safety Action Plan (USNWSAP) will be a strategic, evidence-informed plan, created by experts in drowning prevention and informed by water safety stakeholders and practitioners from across the country, aimed at preventing drowning in the USA. Considering that most prevention needs to happen at the subnational level, the USNWSAP will be a model- based plan, focusing on providing guidance on what a model water safety community, county, and state should look like, as well as identifying national level activities that guide and support subnational efforts. The Life Jacket Working Group has identified 23 recommendations to be included in the USNWSAP.
Speaker: Christopher Stec
The Life Jacket Association website provides information about life jackets to recreational boating safety professionals and the public. The website was launched with grant funding from the US Coast Guard. For professionals, it offers training tools, outreach materials, and information on legal requirements and new life jacket labels. For the public, it explains life jacket styles, purchasing tips, and state laws. It aims to educate about the importance of life jacket use through comparison of old and new label systems. Frequently asked professional questions center around terminology changes and ensuring state law and compliance updates with the new labels.
State Boating Safety & Marine Law Enforcement OutreachNASBLA
We will briefly discuss how two players on the same team approach life jacket messaging. Our officers enforce life jacket laws and encourage the wearing of life jackets. As an outreach coordinator, we remind people of the legal requirements for life jackets when boating, but our main focus is on encouraging everyone to wear a life jacket. This is a different message than delivering the message of mandatory carriage or wear. Our goal is to give a better perspective on the opportunities and challenges the states have in the world of PFDs.
Speaker: Brian Rehwinkle, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Outreach & Education Coordinator
This document provides an agenda and logistical information for the Life Jacket Association's annual conference being held May 14-16, 2019 at the Sirata Beach Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida. The agenda includes presentations, networking activities, and business meetings. Sponsors and board members are recognized. The purpose and mission of the Life Jacket Association is outlined as advancing boating safety through education, standards development, and increasing life jacket usage. An overview is given of the association's activities over the past year and goals for the upcoming year.
The document discusses the regulatory landscape for product safety. It identifies several federal agencies in the United States that evaluate new products, including the Consumer Product Safety Commission and Departments of Transportation, Commerce, and Labor. It also notes requirements from state regulations, third-party certifiers, retailers, and foreign countries that must be considered during the product safety evaluation process. Meeting these various compliance standards is necessary to safely design, manufacture and sell consumer goods.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
