- Title
Is it time for public health professionals to direct their gaze to the sea?
- Authors
Atenstaedt, Robert Leslie
- Abstract
The article focuses on the need for public health professionals to consider the maritime environment as a neglected area of practice, particularly regarding alcohol consumption and the use of life jackets among recreational boaters. Topics discussed include the lack of British laws prohibiting boating under the influence of alcohol, the optional use of life jackets, and the potential risks associated with these practices, as highlighted by incidents and reports.
