The main principles to follow are:

• No swimming in the bay or rivers (due to its depth and currents).

• If you see anyone in difficulty, dial 999 and ask for the Emergency Services.

• Report vandalism to the police

• Do not throw rubbish or stones in the river

• Always wear boots or shoes on the riverbanks and on the foreshore
