COVID-19 restrictions on Marine Rescue NSW operations were eased this week, with our volunteers now able to return to their rostered duties and training activities.
Enhanced cleaning and hygiene protocols remain in place and social distancing still needs to be observed in units, with a maximum of 20 people for rostered duties, training courses, unit inductions and meetings.
Like their colleagues in our 43 other units, the volunteers at Marine Rescue Point Danger have been eager to get back into training.
Crew member Todd Stoll was at the boat shed early this morning before both the unit’s vessels swung out on to the Tweed River to start a day of Crew and Leading Crew training activities.
Thanks to all our volunteers for playing their parts in keeping themselves, their team members and the community safe – while still maintaining our life-saving services – throughout this pandemic.
Thanks, too, to the boaters who stayed safe by staying home to help protect their own and our first responders’ health and wellbeing.
Look out for our crews out on the water again and remember to make every journey safer by Logging On and Off with MRNSW via VHF Channel 16 or the free MarineRescue App.
