Elderly woman with dementia found metres from sea
Northumbria Police said the alarm was raised at 01:00 BST., which encourages carers and family members to record useful information which could be used if a vulnerable person goes missing.
Ch Insp Phil Mcconville said: “Thanks to the swift action and teamwork from our officers and our partners at the North East Ambulance Service, a vulnerable woman with dementia who was outdoors on her own, just meters from the sea, was safely located and escorted to safety. “I’m so proud of the response from officers to this situation, and I’ve no doubt that had they not taken such swift and decisive action, this situation could have ended in tragedy."
A spokesperson for the ambulance service said it was alerted at 02:08 BST by police to reports of a person injured outside the lifeboat station. "We dispatched an ambulance crew who transported the patient to the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital for further treatment."

Red Sea epidemic kills off sea urchins, imperilling coralA deadly epidemic that is spreading through the Red Sea has killed off an entire species of sea urchin in the Gulf of Aqaba, imperilling the region's uniquely resilient coral reefs, an Israeli research team has found. The whole population of black sea urchins, a species known for helping keep coral reefs healthy in the waters also known as the Gulf of Eilat, was wiped out over a couple months, according to a team from Tel Aviv University. The probable culprit is a disease-causing ciliate parasite that brings with it a fast death - perhaps the same one that has wreaked havoc on sea urchin populations in the Caribbean.

Swift, deadly epidemic kills all the black sea urchins in Gulf of Eilat, posing threat to Eilat's coral reefA series of new, disturbing studies from Tel Aviv University reveals a deadly epidemic causing mass mortality of black sea urchins in the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Eilat. The entire population of black sea urchins in Eilat was wiped out over a couple of months. For example, thousands of sea urchins living in a site near the northern shore of the Gulf of Eilat died out over the course of a few weeks. The epidemic was so severe, that today no living black sea urchins have remained at the site, only skeletons. The same has happened at other sites in the Gulf of Eilat. The studies note that such extensive mortality is also occurring in other countries in the region, including Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Greece, and Turkey.
