On average, 36 people drown every year on New Zealand s coastlines, the report found.
Most drownings occurred on non-lifeguarded beaches or outside of patrol hours, and 87 percent of victims were male.
SLSNZ chief executive Paul Dalton said per capita, although not overall, Māori and Pacific people were over-represented in the figures.
