Bay of Plenty - Beach and Marine Threat lifted

Bay of Plenty Civil Defence - Beach and Marine Threat lifted


Monday 14 November 2016, 08:45

The beach and marine threat, which was issued by the Ministry of Civil Defence earlier this morning, has been lifted for Bay of Plenty.

Group Controller Clinton Naude says people in coastal areas should continue to exercise caution.

"The seas will remain unsettled for sometime yet so at this stage we are still recommending people stay out of the water and off the beaches”, says Mr Naude.

People in coastal areas should:

Stay out of the water (sea, rivers and estuaries, including boating activities)
Stay off beaches and shore areas
Do not go sightseeing
Share this information with family, neighbours and friends
Further updates will be provided on Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/BOPCivilDefence and website www.bopcivildefence.govt.nz .
