Should there be stricter regulations for fish in dangerous areas?

Despite warnings, the fatal wave activity came from Surf life rescue Australia (SLSA), which had drawn attention to dangerous surfing conditions in New South Wales and Victoria on Thursday, which were powered in some areas of swelling of up to 3.5 meters (11.5 feet).
“We know that Aussies and visitors in our country like to go off the leaked route to enjoy camping, fishing and other activities on the coast,” said Adam Weir, CEO from SLSA. “But these coastal locations can represent dangers – some can see and some cannot. That is why we have simple advice: stop, look, stay alive.”
According to SLSA, 630 people have died of unrolled beaches in the past ten years and underline the risks to venture into unrestricted coastal zones. The organization has asked the public to only swim on patrolled beaches and keep away from rocks under rough conditions.
The authorities continue the search and rescue operations because large swells are forecast by Monday.
