Fund a national memorial in memory of all lives lost to open water

Petition Details

Every year many lives are lost to open water. Roughly 400 per year, 1 life every 20 hours!
This can be due to lack of education, lack of life saving equipment, bad lighting.
Poor footing, a cycling or boating incident, it could be because of trying to save the life of another.
A trip slip or fall

Additional Information

Lives lost in different circumstances are remembered in different ways.
Different ceremonies are had for lives lost, Monuments are put in place.
Should the same not be done for our innocent victims to water?

I know my son did not go out to die the day he went swimming in open water.
I know other people's children & loved ones had no idea that their fate would be what it turned out to be.
The very least we could do as a country is have a national memorial in place
& we could do so much more.
