Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Coast Guard Partner for Operation Dry Water this Weekend

HUMBOLDT COUNTY (KIEM) – Authorities are cracking down on boating and drinking. This weekend, there will be maximum enforcement period here on our local waters.

The Coast Guard and the Sheriff’s Office are partnering for Operation Dry Water.

During this time, deputies and the Coast Guard will be patrolling our waterways.

It’s also in an effort to educate boaters about the dangers of being under the influence while on the water.

The Sheriff’s Office says, back in 2018 close to 500 impaired boaters were removed by law enforcement during the three day period.

Operation Dry Water is a nationally coordinated effort.

The enforcement period will run from Friday to Sunday.
