KENNEBEC JOURNAL • July 1, 2021

State wardens will increase boating patrols this Fourth of July weekend to prevent boating under the influence and curb a recent uptick in drownings, the state said. The enforcement is part of the Operation Dry Water national campaign, which aims to bring awareness to the dangers of boating under the influence and, “reduce the number of alcohol and drug-related incidents and fatalities through increased awareness.”
