NSRI launch exciting car competition
Published Thu 02 Mar 2023
The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is a volunteer rescue organisation that is on call 24/7. While their mission is to save lives on South African waters, they’re more than a rescue service as they also aim to educate communities and strive to innovate and constantly evolve and extend their water-safety initiatives through empowerment and visibility.
NSRI is manned by more than 1350 unpaid volunteers at over 50 rescue bases, including satellite or auxiliary stations and inland dams. In addition, more than 20 Lifeguard Units have been established around the country
According to their website: “We mobilise for swift-water and flooding scenarios, fires on vessels, and medical evacuations off ships and coastal clifftops. We assist commercial trawlers and leisure yachts. We activate for fishermen, swimmers, anglers, hikers, paddlers and surfers. Families and communities are impacted emotionally and economically when lives are lost. Through water-safety education and active rescue, we can save lives, change lives and create futures.” Read more...
