To educate rental customers and equip rental liveries on safe boating practices

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to Water Solutions Group Inc. (WSG), a non-profit organization, under the Boating Safety Financial Assistance program (CFDA 97.012). The grant, with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will fund WSG's efforts to educate rental boat customers and equip rental liveries on safe boating practices. Specifically, the grant will support WSG's targeted safety outreach campaigns, including the production of video public service announcements, development of educational materials, and implementation of strategic communication initiatives to provide critical safety knowledge to rental boat customers and operators. This grant is part of WSG's ongoing work to promote safe boating practices and reduce recreational boating accidents, injuries, and fatalities nationwide, which has been funded through multiple previous awards from the U.S. Coast Guard's Boating Safety Financial Assistance program.
