Salt Rock Beach Launch Sparks Public Outcry

Loading player...
The Tinley Manor launch site has been closed during Club Med construction, leaving fishermen unsure how to access it. When a commercial fisherman was recently photographed launching from Salt Rock, a busy Blue Flag swimming beach, the public reaction was immediate.

On today’s Uncensored, we speak to the fisherman at the centre of the incident to unpack what happened, why it happened, and what it means for coastal access on the North Coast.

This isn’t just a story about one launch.
It’s a conversation about how decisions made now could shape coastal access, safety and fishing activity for years to come.
