Gambia and Avon Fire Services in Partnership (GAFSIP) are raising money for project Red Dolphin, a beach safety project supported by the Responsible Tourism Partnership (RTP) and The Gambia Tourist Association (GTA).
Specialist tour operator The Gambia Experience has built three of the five watchtowers on the main tourist beaches whilst the RTP has built the other two. The towers are currently manned by volunteers who are provided with a meal from the nearby hotels but GAFSIP are hoping that the GTA will pay the lifeguards in future.
GAFSIP are hoping to raise £5000 to equip the towers. For more information visit www.gafsip.org
David Hutchings of GAFSIP said: “this is a basic and essential safety resource which we are proud to be involved with, it will also give us the opportunity to directly respond to Gambia Experience who have supported us since 1991. The beaches and sea are fantastic but the tides and currents can catch out the best of swimmers.”
