For tourists and residents, New York is a great place to spend time on the water.  Lakes, rivers, and coastal water ways are perfect fishing and boating destinations.  In an effort to ensure a fun and enjoyable experience on the water, Governor Andrew Cuomo recently announced the addition of 6 new Patrol Boats to local law enforcement agencies across New York.

New York is the 8th in the nation for registered watercrafts – not including non-powered boats like kayaks and canoes.  New York State allocated a total of $2.1 million to cover the costs of marine safety efforts for 53 law enforcement agencies across New York.  According to Congressman Tim Bishop, “Maritime safety is a top priority year-round, but particularly during the summer months.”  By partnering with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation the department is able to afford state-of-the-arty equipment to patrol waterways at no cost to the county.
