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.
