The beaches and rivers in our region this summer do not stop giving bad news.
The last died an old man of 81 years on the beach of the Colonies in Isla Plana Cartagena deputation.
From SPCT share statements of the Minister of Health, who asked yesterday Catalina Lorenzo caution swimmers before the rise of deaths from drowning, but we thought that Ms. Counselor should add to its recommendations, a requirement of improving the safety of beaches of the municipality of Cartagena, since certainly better surveillance if the risk is substantially reduced.
The beach of Isla Plana Colonies lies between Isla Plana and Azohía, and is used daily by families who decide to spend the day in a corner of our magnificent coastline.
The added circumstance beachside ISSORM there is a center, under the Ministry of Ms. Lawrence, who seasonally welcomes people with disabilities and older that use this same beach for swimming is given.
From SPCT it unacceptable that a beach with these characteristics in the type of users that use it, do not have a watchtower with qualified staff who can help in an emergency to citizens.
The neglect is such that until lavapies existed at that beach has been cleared for this summer.
Finally to show that there are several beaches along our coast that lack adequate surveillance, but in the case of the Colonies installation is urgent because there are currents in the sea in this part of the coast of Cartagena that exacerbate risk for swimmers.
