2023 off to busy start for Marine Rescue NSW volunteers

The week of Christmas to New Year’s Day is normally the busiest of the year for our dedicated volunteers, and the past week has proved to be no exception.

From Christmas Day to New Year’s Day, 260 rescues were undertaken, with 32 of those on New Year’s Day alone, getting 2023 off to a busy start for our members.

With plenty of great boating weather coming up this week, Marine Rescue NSW is asking boaters to stay safer by wearing your lifejacket at all times, carrying the right safety gear and Logging On with your local Marine Rescue NSW base on VHF Channel 16 or the Marine Rescue NSW app.
