After a series of drownings along Bay Area beaches last winter, the San Mateo County Harbor District is taking steps to raise ocean awareness and education for beachgoers.
The Harbor Commission last week voted unanimously to cover the construction and permitting costs for two life-saving stations and ring buoys in Pillar Point Harbor, one near Surferâs Beach and one at the breakwater near Mavericks.
General Manager Jim Pruett said once the two stations are installed this summer the district will work with the San Mateo County Sheriffâs Office to install two more at Pillar Point before expanding the rings around the San Mateo County coast.
