Episode Details

Manatee County’s Beach Patrol is launching a game-changing drone rescue program designed to drop flotation devices to swimmers trapped in deadly rip currents—Florida’s top beach hazard. Funded by a $25,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Anna Maria Island, raised through their annual fishing tournament, the drone will reach swimmers where lifeguards can’t, slashing rescue times and saving lives. Under construction and set to debut mid-August, this tech-driven safety upgrade reflects community commitment and a bold step toward smarter, faster coastal protection.
