One of the greatest benefits of living in southern California is having access to our vast network of waterways.
From oceans to lakes to rivers, we can enjoy on-the-water activities, such as recreational boating, at any of a number of nearby destinations.
However, an unfortunate result of so many of us enjoying time on the water is that it creates additional risks for us to suffer an injury or be involved in an accident.
In fact, according to the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW), 45 percent of the boating accidents that took place in and around California in 2013 happened in the southern part of the state.
