Naroooma trial
NSW Maritime and Coastalwatch have embarked on a web camera trial at Narooma in a bid to improve safety for those people planning to cross a coastal bar in a boat. NSW Maritime believes the real time footage, together with updated swell, wind and tide information, can play a key role in helping people prepare for and plan a crossing in what can be an extremely dynamic boating environment. But as they say: If in doubt, don't go out.
