The Opening Season of Beaches In South Jeolla Province to Be Delayed for A Month
As the duty of safety supervision has been moved from maritime police to local governments, the opening of beaches in South Jeolla Province will be delayed for a month as compared to previous years when the beaches were usually opened in May.
According to the Jeollanamdo government last week, Myeongsasimni Beach in Wando and Dolmeori Beach in Hampyeong will be opened at the earliest on the 26th of this month, while most other beaches will be opened on the 3rd of next month.
The main reason of the postponement is a recently issued emergency alert due to the lack of safety personnale and equipment following the shift of supervision to the local governments.
As various safety experts will need to be recruited to replace the maritime police, a grant allotted for fire fighting will be provided to the local governments.
