据温哥华港湾综合报道:在退潮时看似是一条安全的捷径,但位于Port Moody(满地宝)的潮滩(mudflats)实则暗藏巨大危险,稍有不慎就可能被困、受伤,甚至危及生命。
7月18日,Port Moody市政府在社交媒体上再次发布警告,转发了满地宝消防局的安全提醒,提醒公众—— “这些泥滩危险又不可预测,部分区域甚至像流沙一样,能将人或动物‘吞噬’。”
市府的Facebook贴文指出,人和动物可能陷入泥中无法自拔,来不及脱困就会被迅速上涨的潮水吞没。

被困救援至少需8人,耗时两小时
据消防队长Will Patterson接受《Daily Hive》采访时透露,大多数被困事件都发生在Rocky Point Park附近。
“人们在退潮时走上泥滩,没意识到潮水回来得有多快,”他说,“真正的危险是泥巴的吸力。”
> “就像马桶拔子(plunger)一样,脚一旦陷进去,越挣扎就陷得越深,恐慌和疲惫只会让情况更糟。”
救援工作通常非常复杂,涉及伤口割伤、体温过低等风险。有时宠物也会卷入事故。
“有时候是狗跑出去被困住,主人想救狗结果也陷进去。”
消防队需要使用特殊鞋具和水枪等工具打破泥巴的吸附力。
> “我们会用水把他们脚周围的区域冲开,解除真空吸力。”Patterson说,“然后把他们抬到脊柱支撑板上安全带回来。”
由于岸边交通不便,消防队常需联手加拿大海岸警卫队的气垫船协助。
“这是一个协调密集的行动,通常耗时约两个小时。”
如陷入泥滩该怎么做?
市政府提醒:一旦陷入泥滩,不要挣扎,保持冷静,避免越陷越深或受伤。
旁观者请勿尝试营救,应立即拨打911并要求消防队救援。
不只是安全隐患,这里也是生态保护区
除了对公众构成威胁,这片泥滩还是本地重要的生态系统之一。
据Port Moody市官网介绍,这片潮间带(涨潮被水淹、退潮裸露出的区域)是Burrard Inlet(布勒内湾)仅存的少数大型潮间湿地之一。
退潮时,泥滩会露出一大片泥地,其中生存着大量微小生物,是鸟类、鱼类和海洋生物的重要食源。
此区域属于Tidal Park(潮汐公园)的一部分,由Port Moody市从温哥华菲沙港务局长期租赁并设为保护区。
由于该地野生动植物对噪音和人为干扰极为敏感,市政府呼吁公众严格遵守相关规定。
官方特别提醒:请务必遵守以下规定
人和宠物严禁进入泥滩区域
潮汐公园内禁止动力船只进入
需减速航行以避免水波冲击生态系统
远离野生动物,禁止干扰其活动
船只需持有指定锚泊区(Designated Anchorage Area)许可证
随着炎热天气和低潮吸引越来越多游客前往海滨,Port Moody市再次呼吁大家:广而告之,切勿轻忽警告标志,切实保护生命安全与生态环境。
