Admin’s Note

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety awareness when playing at the beach. It’s especially crucial for adults to pay attention and have knowledge of first aid in places where children and young people are playing. While the ocean can be a great source of enjoyment, it also hides potential dangers. I feel that we need to consider measures to ensure we can enjoy it more safely moving forward.
