The RCMP's Marine Security Enforcement Teams are back on Ontario waterways for another busy boating season.

They patrol all border points on Lake Huron and the St. Clair River.

Sergeant Ian McNeill says they'll be cracking down on drug smuggling, and impaired boating, and making sure everyone has proper documents and safety equipment.
