The NSRI at Jeffrey's Bay is appealing to four young teenagers, three males and a female, who have been captured on CCTV cameras to return a Pink Rescue Buoy that is now missing from its post at Point Beach, Wavecrest, Jeffrey's Bay.
The incident took place at 21h45, Wednesday, 12th December.
Anyone who recognises these teenagers from the photo attached can contact NSRI Communications at 0823803800.
The NSRI Pink Rescue Buoys initiative was recently honoured at the International Maritime Rescue Federation conference in Norway - for Innovation and Technology.
Immense research went into their deployment around the South African coastline and the pink colour, which shows up as the brightest in surf conditions, is unique to the NSRI.
To date, 16 lives have been saved thanks to their deployment around the coastline and at some inland waterways.
The NSRI is appealing to the public to promote the success of these life-saving floatation devices, and not to steal them as it could cost a life.
