We Say, You Say: Beach Safety
Hi Auckland,
Do you know how to spot a rip?

Do you know how to spot a rip?
A study conducted by Surf Lifesaving New Zealand at Muriwai Beach found that 78 per cent of beach goers could not identify a rip current.
One geomorphologist involved in the study spotted a "well-established" rip offshore and asked individuals at the beach to point it out.
The vast majority could not do so.
According to SLSNZ, around 80 per cent of rescues made were from people getting stuck in rips. They say that the easiest way to identify them is to spot calm strips of water that are flanked by breaking waves.
“They commonly occur in deeper channels that are cut between sandbars, which means waves don’t break as much in the rip current – this means that beachgoers often mistake them as the safest areas to swim because the water looks so calm when compared to the breaking waves either side.”

If cutting emissions is the big goal - why put up PT fares ?
Hi Neighbours, Auckland is this year getting serious about reducing carbon emissions. Transport is the city's biggest single emitter. So how does it make sense to hike public transport fares? Read the story below:

Auckland woman pays tribute to late mum by running 12 half marathons

Thirty-eight-year-old Nadine France is tackling the daunting challenge to commemorate mum Laural who died in 2019 after a 10-year battle with breast cancer.
The runner of 15 years also wants to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ to boost funds for research and raise awareness of the disease.
“Mum would be absolutely shocked by this challenge, but I think she’d also be proud because she was someone who gave a lot and cared about women prioritising their health,” France said.
She said the gruelling runs would be part of her healing process and a way to channel her grief into doing something positive.
"When mum was in her final days people were so kind so it's important for me to give back in some way."
France tackled the eighth Continent Half Marathon at Auckland Domain earlier this month.
With 11 races to go, she said she is looking forward to moving out of her comfort zone and at the same time seeing more of the country.
