This is the first global review of its kind, designed to examine how effective current SAR systems are on local, national, and international levels.

One of the project’s main goal is to find how maritime SAR systems can keep up with the increasing complexity of the sea environment. The review will consider future challenges like the effects of climate change, political instability across regions, and growing economic pressure on SAR organisations.

It will also explore the differences in approaches to search and rescue operations in different parts of the world and the views of various stakeholders in the maritime SAR sector.

Stakeholders include:

local and national SAR organisations
government authorities
commercial shipping companies
small-scale fishing communities
academics
suppliers, and innovators in maritime technology

According to the IMRF, people in danger at sea depend on quick and reliable search and rescue responses. The aim is to improve safety for everyone at sea.

Organisations are already working together on the #FutureSAR initiative, which focuses on helping SAR teams adapt to climate change-related challenges. And also #SaferSAR, which is focused on promoting better data sharing and best practices in the maritime SAR sector.
