The recent tragic incidents on Lake Lanier have brought on significant media attention and has increased the conversation among the public and local and state authorities on “how to make Lake Lanier more safe.” Notwithstanding these horrific events, and not diminishing their significance, I wonder where all of this media attention and conversation was last year when there were 17 water-related fatalities as compared to five this year? Don’t get me wrong; I welcome the attention because it does have people thinking and talking about how to make Lake Lanier more safe.
