The Marine Department reminds members of the public to pay attention to marine safety when participating in events at sea. Parents or adults should look after children and ensure that children are in a lifejacket at all times. Coxswains should keep a passenger and crew list in case it is needed. In addition, passengers should note the locations of emergency exits and lifejackets, and note how to put on a lifejacket, before the vessel departs. Coxswains should refrain from speeding or overloading their vessels.
