The National Sea Rescue Institute is appealing to appealing to recreational boaters, sailors, paddlers and bathers to take precautions to ensure their safety on our beaches and at sea.
Despite the approaching summer improving weather conditions the current sea conditions will remain relatively rough for some time still.
Bathers can expect strong rip-currents to prevail along the coast and boaters, sailors and paddlers should expect strong currents, rough sea conditions and big swells.
“We are urging bathers to take care at our beaches and children should have adult supervision at all times around water”.
“We are urging boaters, sailors and paddlers to wear their life-jackets at all times while on water and to carry all safety equipment” said spokesperson for NSRI Craig Lambinon.
Calling the NSRI Emergency Number (for your area) directly, to report a sea rescue emergency, will prevent any delay in the activation of all emergency rescue resources responsible and required to deal with the emergency.
