What is CoastSmart?
This is a  public safety pilot project in the Pacific Rim region of British Columbia, led by Parks Canada, the District of Tofino and the District of Ucluelet and was made possible by funding from the Government of Canada. 

The goals of CoastSmart are to reduce public risk and enhance coastal safety, near-water and in the surf zone.  CoastSmart is a communication and education campaign which highlights the hazards at beaches along the coastline between Tofino and Ucluelet, helps people avoid those hazards and provides advice to keep people safe as they enjoy coastal recreation.
