Welcome to Marine Rescue NSW Port Macquarie

DSC_1486

Marine Rescue NSW is our State’s official volunteer marine rescue service, committed to saving lives on the water. Safety on the water is our highest priority – for both our volunteers and the boating public. Port Macquarie is one of 46 Units operating along the NSW coast. The Port Macquarie Unit started life as Sea Rescue and has been serving the local area since 1971.

We are not a Government agency but a community owned and focused organisation. The majority of our annual running costs are funded from local fund raising efforts. We have to provide 20% of the cost of a new boat. Volunteers are the great strength of Marine Rescue NSW Port Macquarie Unit.

Whenever you’re heading out on the water, make sure you use your marine radio to log on with your local MRNSW Port Macquarie Unit so someone responsible is keeping watch for you. If you don’t log off when you’re due back, our members will swing into action to find you.
