Police are hoping to see a huge drop in the number of boating fatalities.
It reached an eight-year high on OPP-patrolled waterways in 2017, with 31 people dying, compared to 23 deaths in 2016.
The lead contributing factor in both years was people falling overboard.
Now that boaters are taking to the waterways, the RCMP wants to make sure everyone stays safe.
Officers were taking part in training recently at Sarnia Bay Marina.
Sgt. Ian McNeill, the Marine Coordinator for the RCMP Ontario Division, is hoping they'll get some help from the public this year.
He says the boundary between Canada and the US is their key focus.
"We're situated along the border points, mostly, critical infrastructures, the RCMP being the national police force here in Canada we have more of a focus on national security and organized crime. We're out there in numbers and on scheduled patrols during the active boating season."
McNeill says they would appreciate any help other boaters can offer.
"We're watching and we're vigilant and we obviously rely on the public for any assistance or help they can give us too, because despite our efforts it is a vast waterway."
He says even people on shore can be helpful adding call police if they see something unusual on the water.
