Always Ready – A Televised Life Jacket Wear Campaign
This session will present recreational boating safety’s new 30-second life jacket TV commercial, Always Ready, scheduled for distribution on fishing programs this summer. The commercials are scheduled to broadcast more than 1,100 times on seven popular television networks including the Discovery Channel and the Outdoor Channel with a total audience of 238.1 million American households. Fishing is one of America’s most popular activities and anglers are one of boating’s most at-risk groups – in 2020 35.3% of fatal boating incidents occurred during fishing outings. The 30-second Always Ready commercials are supported by a longer web-based docu-mercial each reminding anglers to always wear a life jacket while boating. This short session will share the campaign’s creative content and early results. If time allows, additional Water Sports Foundation life jacket outreach materials will be presented encouraging attendees to use them freely!

LJA and the U.S. National Water Safety Action Plan
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
Life Jacket Website
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 Outreach
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.

Product Safety and the Regulatory Landscape
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.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Kids Don't Float
- 1. An Alaskan Boating Safety Program ...YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
- 2. KDF Background Began in Homer in 1996- statewide in 1997 Lifejacket loaner boards 466 boards around AK today School program took hold in 2001 Educational lessons for schools
- 3. Our Progess: We’ve reached: 63,391 children (1,341 classes) 57 rural or “bush” communities 31 “on-road” communities 64 schools in Anchorage alone There are 316 “communities” in the entire state!
- 4. Changing the Culture Adult drowning rate MUCH higher than child rate (PFD law helps here) Life jackets are: unnecessary, dorky, they get in the way, “I don’t need one- I can swim!” You have to get ‘em while they’re young!
- 5. What is KDF? 3 lessons Lesson 1 & 2 in classroom Lesson 3 in-water session Geared for K-6th grade, but can be adapted for 7-12th grade 1-hour presentations lots of activities very small amount of “lecture”
- 6. Evaluation Methods Instructor/presentation evaluations to every teacher 4th & up receives 10 question quiz at end of presentation Database & reports Monitor fatality rates Confirmed KDF life jacket “saves”
- 7. Where to begin? Instructors? Who? Where? Seasonal, part-time? Make or break program- find folks that are good with KIDS! Develop state-specific curriculum out dnr.alaska.gov/parks/boating/kdfhome.htm Add/subtract from AK curriculum to meet your needs! It is written in such a way that allows for anyone to pick it up and teach!
- 8. Get noticed! Advertise in a small region (one school district?) Flyers, post cards, phone calls, school visits Find a “test” school Have teachers fill out evaluations & give references Positive WORD OF MOUTH is crucial! Use your community contacts & references to spread to other schools, other districts, other areas of the state!
- 9. Sustenance… Develop own state curriculum Develop a BRAND “goodies” and handouts Create activity books, stickers, etc… Loaner boards? Attend safety fairs, summer camps, water festivals, etc… Eventually a year-round program?
- 10. Questions?
