Gautier proclaims May 17–25, 2025 National Safe Boating Week; US Coast Guard Auxiliary urges safety and volunteers
Summary
The council read and adopted a proclamation designating May 17–25, 2025 as National Safe Boating Week and a US Coast Guard Auxiliary representative encouraged residents to learn boating safety and consider joining the local flotilla.
The Gautier City Council read and adopted a proclamation designating May 17–25, 2025, as National Safe Boating Week and invited residents to take advantage of recreational boating safety education and local auxiliary programs.
A representative from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, identified in the record as Cecil Bayard, presented the proclamation, summarized recent search‑and‑rescue incidents in the region and encouraged residents to observe boating safety practices. The presenter described the Auxiliary’s regular meetups and invited interested residents to join the local Flotilla, which meets monthly at the Coast Guard station.
The proclamation cites that most recreational boating incidents are caused by human error and a lack of awareness of safety regulations, and it urges residents who boat in the region to learn safe boating practices and life‑saving procedures. The council affixed the city seal to the proclamation and welcomed the Auxiliary’s outreach.
No city action beyond adoption of the proclamation was recorded; the Auxiliary offered contact information for residents who wish to volunteer or learn more about boating safety.
