Director of the Coastal Zone Management Unit, Dr Leo Brewster, is urging swimmers and sea bathers to avoid swimming between buoys being installed at beaches across the island.
He made this appeal as the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy began the installation of water sports and jet ski corridors at beaches across the island. This is expected to take place over the next two and a half months.
At present, corridors are installed at Carlisle Bay Beach, Bay Street, St Michael, and at Lower Carlton Beach in St James.
“The intention behind the corridors is to clearly demarcate the area where water craft…as well as jet ski operators are supposed to come to shore and leave shore with their patrons on board. This way is to control and better manage how the motorised water craft use the shoreline space,” he said.
