Sea Rescue Services

In South Australia marine rescue services are provided by volunteer groups. In the Adelaide area there are two main organisations - the SA Sea Rescue Squadron and the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Patrol. In addition to organization owned boats such as the one shown, members' private boats are called upon in the event of a major emergency. The Surf Lifesaving South Australia jet boats (pictured yesterday) may also be involved.

Mock sea rescue


This morning there was a joint mock rescue exercise at West Beach involving sea rescue groups, and police and ambulance services. It was a simulation to rehearse rescue procedures in the event of a plane crash off the coast.
