To avoid crowds of vacationers, some go swimming on unequipped beaches. However, rest in such territories can end badly for a person. The number of drowned people in the summer season is estimated at dozens of people. What is the danger of wild beaches, we tell in the material “DIP”.
In areas not intended for swimming, there are no lifeguards, observation towers, and rescue equipment. If a person starts to drown, the chances that he will get out on his own are very low. In addition, there are no signal flags on wild beaches, by which you can understand whether it is allowed to swim in the sea or not. Therefore, there are big risks, and, choosing favor of rest in non-equipped places, a person himself will be responsible for his safety.
Another danger of wild beaches in the unexplored bottom. In areas permitted for swimming, divers conduct thorough checks. Experts get dozens of kilograms of garbage from the bottom. On an unequipped beach, there may be flooded logs, sharp stones, metal rods, piles, and glass in the water, which, due to ignorance, a person can seriously injure. In this case, help, in this case, will not arrive soon.
Ecologists identify another reason why you should not stop at wild beaches – vacationers can harm the environment. In addition to a large amount of garbage left on the shore, which destroys marine life, people harm plant populations, including those listed in the Red Book.
