Memorial Day weekend attracts crowds of boaters to Acadiana and drivers to the roadways. That's why state troopers as well as Louisiana Wildlife and fisheries officers will be out in force to make sure everyone is safe.

The rules of the road are the same on water. "We'll be looking for underage drinking and boaters operating their vessels while intoxicated. We'll also be checking for boat and safety cards," said Donnie Bozeman, Wildlife and Fisheries Senior Agent.
