President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih launches the awareness campaign, ‘Life Jacket – Wear It!’ , initiated by National Boating Association of Maldives (NBAM). The campaign was launched at the Marine Expo Event on December 13th, 2021.
The campaign's goal is to raise public awareness about the consequences of their actions, particularly the increased risk of serious injury or death if safety equipment is not on board or is not utilized properly.
The launch of this public awareness campaign is critical for maritime safety, particularly in terms of the importance of wearing life jackets. In addition, given the number of tragic cases that have occurred,
NBAM believes that this should be implemented as soon as possible. This initiative is important not just for live-aboards, but for the entire Maldives boating industry.
