The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol Unit would like to reward children for wearing their life jackets while out on the water. Not only is it crucial for safety, for children under the age of 13, it’s the law.

When a member of the BCSO Marine Patrol Unit spots a child wearing his or her life jacket, they will be presented with a card to be used for an award at one of our partners: Dave’s Outpost – Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle Beach Marina, Ocean Isle Fishing Center and Sheffield’s – Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach Marina – Holden Beach, St. James Marina – Oak Island, Southport Marina – Southport.
