Help Save Lives with Free PSA's

The Future Angler Foundation has partnered with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Into the Outdoors Education Network to grow a safety-conscious community of boaters by empowering youth, and the adults around them, to think critically about the consequences of their actions. 

Many boating accidents are caused by human error and could have been prevented with proper boating knowledge and preparation. The following eight (8) Public Service Announcements reveal some of the most common causes of boating accidents and related deaths, and how viewers can prevent those accidents.

To help your audiences and the messaging of your boating safety education programs, please feel free to use these open-source PSAs on your websites, networks, social media outlets, TV shows, videos and safety education campaigns.

It only takes a moment to download these free PSAs. Simply click on the linked titles below, then click on the Download Video to get the full HD 1920x1080 (h264) version.

By all working together on educating the boating public, we can help prevent future accidents with proper boating safety knowledge.

Also, explore, download and use these boating safety classroom educational videos and their related classroom lesson activities in your boating safety education programs. Like the PSA's they are free open-source.
