As web-master of the Maritime Rescue website I am always trying to find more ways to encourage visitors to the website, either by searching the internet for teams & organisations that might be interested in joining our community and hand writing invitations, instead of relying on automated marketing tools approach, I like the human touch!
Much like a casualty does..

There is also the website software to consider too!

  • Is it up to date?
  • Does it work?
  • Are there any bugs? etc.


The one thing that will take time is creating informative and meaningful articles for the site that will bring something different from the 'norm'. After all we can often find sites that have bits & pieces of information, about a particular subject, but rarely can we find an all encompassing website that brings together many different outlooks & ideas on the same subject.

We're not looking for members to be expert writers or even fantastic photographers, just people involved in any sort of rescue from the water, with an interest in sharing their experiences.
Hey, I'm no journalist, but I do my best...?
