What is recommended when fishing to increase safety?

Using only barbless hooks
Wearing a life jacket
Fishing only in designated areas
Carrying a waterproof communication device

The correct answer is: Wearing a life jacket

It is recommended to wear a life jacket when fishing to increase safety. This is not only because it can prevent drowning in case of an accident, but also because it can help keep you afloat if you become fatigued or injured while out on the water. Using only barbless hooks (A) is important to preserve the fish population, but it does not necessarily increase safety. Fishing only in designated areas (C) is important for environmental reasons and to prevent conflicts with other anglers, but it does not necessarily impact safety. Carrying a waterproof communication device (D) is important in case of emergency, but wearing a life jacket is a more practical and immediate safety measure.
