British 11 year old dies at Gozo's Ramla Bay, father missing
An 11 year old British boy died after getting into difficulty while swimming with his 37 year old father at Ramla Bay on Monday, the final day of their holiday. Emergency teams from the Armed Forces of Malta and the Civil Protection Department responded after a 1:15 p.m. alert, pulling the boy from the water and transporting him to Gozo General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Tidal illiteracy puts millions at risk along UK coasts, study warns
A Bangor University survey finds 15 percent of the UK public have been cut off, or nearly, by tides at least once, with RNLI lifeboats and lifeguards launching around 3,600 rescues since 2020 to assist some 35,500 people. The issue is not malice of the sea, it is misunderstanding. Four in ten do not know tides come in twice daily and vary by location and time, and 60 percent of those cut off never meant to enter the water at all. Spring tides around full and new moons, bigger swings near the equinoxes, and school holidays increase risk. Tide tables are free if you check them, and flats can flood from behind faster than you can run. Advice is simple, check local tide times, ask RNLI or coastguards, plan an escape route, and stay alert. Wales now bakes safe access into its ocean literacy strategy, a rare case of policy meeting reality and a model the rest of the UK could copy.
