Coastal conservation and security workshop.

On June 19, 2019 CARICOOS played a role on the workshop “Coastal Conservation and Security” at the Pedalea store in Isabela. CARICOOS products and services were presented to a group of stakeholders that included representation from professional rescue organizations like SVERI Rescate Isabela and Coastal Professional Rescue Team. Focusing on the persistent increment in safety-related beach incidents in our region a roundtable was convened to submit ideas to address the problem. A notable action item derived from the workshop is that participants agreed to install and maintain Rip Current Warning signs provided by Sea Grant. Thanks to Fundación for Puerto Rico for the invitation and to Sea Grant for the beach signs.
