The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency reports there were no boating-related fatalities, but there were six statewide serious injury boating incidents over the July 4 holiday weekend, which included the annual Operation Dry Water.
The TWRA reported 21 boating under the influence arrests over the holiday weekend, which ran from July 2-5.
The arrests were an increase from the 11 recorded in 2020.
Thirteen of the BUI arrests came in TWRA Region II (Middle Tennessee area).
