LDWF will host boating education day

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will host the 15th annual “Boating Education Lagniappe Day” on April 25 at nine different locations across the state.
During Boating Education Lagniappe Day, LDWF will provide instructors for the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators boating education course and NASBLA boating education certification and lunch with some locations also providing door prizes all free of charge.
LDWF urges the public to register quickly as most places have limited spaces available and registration is on a first come first serve basis. To register for one of the nine classes, please visit https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/boater-education and click on the link for “Find A Boating Education Course Near You”.
Anybody born after Jan. 1, 1984 must complete a NASBLA approved boating education course and carry proof of completion to operate a motorboat in excess of 10 horsepower.
The course includes information on choosing a boat, classification, hulls, motors, legal requirements and equipment requirements. 
The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Agents Association along with other business partners help make annual Lagniappe Day possible across the state.
