Bathers, hikers, sailors, paddlers, fishermen and boaters on coastal waters and on inland waters are urged to have safety top of mind.
Beach bathers, we are appealing to you and your families, to only swim at beaches protected by lifeguards. Swim in between the safer swimming areas posted by lifeguards.
We are asking parents and children, with our hearts in our throat, to have responsible adult supervision for children when they are in and around water and don’t be distracted – watch over the children.
