On Saturday morning the Rotary Club of Perdido Key stepped up for swimmer safety at Perdido Key's Beach access #4. This local club funded and installed an emergency flotation device and signage which can help average citizens to help rescue fellow citizens who might find themselves in distress out in the Gulf.
I was invited to participate and was heartened to see so many volunteers show up to not only install this flotation safety device, but to also clean up the beach as well with a blitz of litter collection by about 3-dozen citizens that came to assist.
According to Dan Sulger, from the Navarre Rotary Club, this same sort of safety system has already, successfully been deployed to 16 public beach access points in Navarre.
"Each one costs about $186.00 to install." according to Sulger.
I think that is a great investment and we will soon be adding these to the rest of our Perdido access points as well.
