The article titled New Agency To Manage Beaches (May 13) refers to nothing more than the installation of some ladders and dustbins on our shores. I am sure the Ministry of Tourism can be more effective.

One thing locals and tourists would very much appreciate is something done about jellyfish. Something must be done to have as many jellyfish as possible picked from the sea, at least in the more popular swimming areas.

Having a swim with the peace of mind that one would not be stung by one of these creatures should not be too much to ask. Otherwise it would be ridiculous to make the beach look oh so good, if when you take a dip you're more concerned about a jellyfish attack than a relaxing swim.
