Ocean Safety Task News Today

Oahu is embraced by 227 miles of coastline, studded with hundreds of famous surf breaks, swim spots and sightseeing destinations frequented by locals and tourists.

Currently, the Lifeguard and Ocean Safety Division is under Honolulu Emergency Medical Services.

After sifting through that data, the task force emerged with its final recommendation.

That divide centered on Council member Andria Tupola’s Resolution 50 which urges, via a voter-approved charter amendment, that Honolulu’s lifeguard and ambulance services be broken up to create that new department.
