In my previous articles, I discussed sanitation along the
beach where I emphasized much on the causes of poor sanitation along the beach,
its effects, preventive measures, and the benefits of maintaining good sanitation
along the beach. In this very article, I am putting across safety mechanisms to
help maintain good sanitation along the beach.
Firstly, most beaches if not all, should be paid for at a
minimum fee of Ghc 2 before one can use the place. When this is done, it will give so
much value to those beaches and will attract more people including tourists.
The money accrue from this can be used to put the place in good shape, put up a
security gate or entrance and fix lights all over the beaches to make the
beaches very beautiful, clean, and attractive.

In addition to this, there should be a massive and extensive
public education on good sanitation along the beaches. This should be done
purposely for residents along the beaches as a way of enlightening them on the
need to adopt and practice community watch.
The adoption and practice of community watch along the beach can help
instill self discipline and promote public awareness and the involvement of
everybody to help preserve attractiveness of our beaches and to enhance healthy
lives, the potential of recreation, tourism and income generating
opportunities.
Finally, individuals can take upon themselves to run beaches
as businesses than to leave them in the hands of the government only. The
government has so many projects to undertake therefore, individuals who take
upon themselves to run some of these beaches will help maintain good sanitation
along the beaches. Running some of these beaches will aim at profit making.
Hence, appropriate measures will be put in place for people to patronize them.
Attached to the beach sites can be hotels, restaurants, night clubs, live shows and so many
interesting and entertaining avenues and activities. All these in one way or the other can
help the state generate revenue for the development and betterment of the country,
