Tragically, lives have been lost whilst rock fishing along WA’s rugged coastline.
The attached are initiatives, from memory, from a father who lost a son, and implemented by the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPAW) – a WA Government agency.
In certain areas along the coast, signage, a life buoy and anchor points are provided to assist in preventing more lives being lost.
My condolences to anyone who has lost a love one.
I personally totally support this initiative. I have recently returned from a holiday on the SE coast of WA (Esperance area), and used these ‘tie down points’.
Let’s face it, it doesn’t take that long to tie a bowline and put on a PFD.
I bought a PFD for $85 and a length of rated rope for $25. Not a huge expense for one of the sports I love.
Take care out there.
