Watch out for rip currents

Rip currents cause more than 100 drownings along the U.S. coast each year. MAS specialist Wendy Carey is working with the National Weather Service, the Delaware Division of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and local beach patrols to establish a rip current warning system for Delaware. Educational signs about rip current safety and other topics also have been installed at Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach through a community partnership program.
