Flare sightings raise concerns on South Coast

The National Sea Rescue Institute Shelly Beach duty crew was activated last night at about 20:30 following eyewitness reports of believed to be two red distress flares sighted five minutes apart at sea offshore of South Port Anerley Beach.

“It is unknown if that paddler had come ashore or if that paddler had perhaps deployed the flares, but there are no indications of anyone missing or unaccounted for.” “Despite no reports of anyone overdue or missing at sea, the situation is continuing to be monitored but at this stage it appears that the two red distress flares deployed offshore of South Port remains a mystery,” adds Wolmerans.
