If the number of accidents is lower, it could be because there are fewer boats on the lake.

All the reductions are in raw counts not in percentage.

So a reduction of 4 accidents from 42 is about 10 percent in one year. All the article says about boat count is that it was around 93K registered statewide last year and well over 100K in 2007. So we need a little more data.
