MEDIA // Surf Life Saving WA has welcomed this morning’s announcement by the Hon. Jackie Jarvis MLC, Minister for Fisheries, of an additional $3.7 million in funding as part of the government’s Shark Hazard Mitigation Strategy.

Speaking at this morning’s media announcement, SLSWA President Heidi Gan said the funding would strengthen and expand key services delivered by SLSWA under the Strategy, including Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter patrols, beach and drone patrols.

“This morning’s funding announcement provides for a significant increase in these activities", said Ms Gan.

“Simply put, the more services we have on the beaches, and the longer they operate, the more threats we will identify and the more lives we can save.”
