Part of a boater's responsibility to protect the shoreline is to prevent erosion and to not throw garbage overboard.
If a boater falls overboard wearing a life jacket that is too small, the jacket may not provide adequate buoyancy or support, potentially leading to difficulties in keeping the head above water. The constricted fit can also restrict movement, making it harder to swim or stay calm. In extreme cases, a poorly fitting life jacket may cause the wearer to become trapped or experience discomfort, increasing the risk of drowning. It's crucial to ensure life jackets are properly fitted for safety.
To operate a vessel legally on Missouri lakes, you must have a valid Missouri state registration for the vessel. Additionally, all vessels must carry a personal flotation device (PFD) for each person on board, and if the vessel is over 16 feet, it must also have a throwable flotation device. It's also important to have a fire extinguisher if the vessel has an enclosed engine compartment. Lastly, operators born after January 1, 1984, must have a Missouri Boater Education Card.
