Our Mission
Marine Safety is responsible for the protection of life, limb and property of the beach and ocean going public. Prevention of aquatic accidents can best be accomplished by the recognition of dangerous situations and advising the public to stay clear. It is not always possible to keep hazards and the public separated, so Marine Safety personnel are also responsible for the rescue of persons in distress or difficulty. Additionally, marine safety personnel must provide prompt and efficient first aid, monitor beach regulations, and provide educational information to beach patrons on beach related subjects.
