There are some mandatory safety requirement changes to keep in mind if you're heading out on the water.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is reminding boaters that beginning today and running thru April 30, they are required to wear a life jacket while underway or at anchor on boats less than 16 ft in length or on any canoe or kayak.
The requirement applies to all PA waters.
According PFBC officials, nearly eight out of 10 boating deaths in Pennsylvania happen because the victim is not wearing a life jacket and a large number of them happen between now and April.
