All too often, the red flags that dot the beach warning when the surf is unsafe, go unnoticed or worse - ignored.
This means that the Coast Guard is called to" search and rescue." Sometimes at risk to their own life.
Maybe we need to replace the flags with loudspeakers. When the current is strong and the water unsafe, it can blare the theme from Jaws. Everyone recognizes that sound and it would certainly deter people from stepping foot in the water. Just a thought.
