There have also been some incidents in which reckless swimmers had to be saved. And that must stop. Björn Pannecoucke, Ships of Welzijn Ostend: When rescuers have to remove people x number of times, they are sanctioned by the police. The beach police and the rescuers work very closely together. The fines are already being handed out. The problem is that we put signs, new flags also on the Zeelijn, and you still notice that people do not listen. With that physical barrier we hope that it has more effect. It’s an EN-EN story. “
