Commitment, Dedication, Compassion, Training...
Day or night, every day of the year, our volunteers are prepared to respond
to the coastguard in order to prevent the loss of life.
It is not always possible to prevent the loss of life but there is sometimes a family on shore desperately waiting for word…
It is MRI's primary objective to do everything they can do make sure that anything that can be done to save a life is the done.
