The Fiordland Marine Search and Rescue team volunteer their time to provide a critical marine rescue service to the Fiordland and further afield. The team still incur significant costs for training, equipment, travel and flight time. Over the past few years with a significant increase in the number of jobs the FMSAR have increased demands on training and gear that requires extra funds.
Replacing specialised equipment, training and flight time for marine search and rescue services.
Thanks for your support! 3 December 2025
Thanks for all your support for the Fiordland Marine Search & Rescue. This year with amazing community support including this give-a-little page we have been able to fund the following critical things for our team -
- 2 x new harnesses and cinch straps
- A replacement airbridge for multiple person rescues
- Support the training and gear for a new rescue swimmer to join the team
- Multiple other bits and pieces required to run a professional standard search and rescue operation on a volunteer budget
Again, thankyou for all your support, it has undoubtably improved our Marine SAR capability for the large area we cover.
