Every summer, the population on the coast of Ostend doubles. Beach lifeguards, doctors, ambulance workers, police, and firefighters work hard to keep the coast safe. ‘Local Heroes: The Coast’ follows the activities of these emergency services.

My tasks
During the summer of 2020, a full team was deployed across various emergency services in and around Oostende.
