308 volunteers save lives at sea and on lakes around the Southen Region.  Coastguard’s brave volunteers don’t ask a cent for their lifesaving work – they don’t do it to be rewarded.  They do however need support to ensure they have the best possible training and the right equipment, to achieve their mission safely.

 

Only 15% of our funding comes from government so the support of the public is vital. 

 

Last year across New Zealand Coastguard volunteers rescued 6,634 people.  These are people who would have perished at sea if our volunteers weren’t there to save them.

 

 

 

Coastguards’ Community Promise is: Saving lives at sea
