What We Do

 

The Marine Division responds to a wide range of water-based emergencies:

• Overdue or missing boaters

• Water search and recovery operations

• Support during drowning or distress incidents

• Assistance during storms and coastal emergencies

 

​​

These missions often require rapid response in unpredictable and hazardous conditions.

​

​

Why It Matters

​

Search and rescue on the water presents unique challenges:

​

• Changing weather and sea conditions

• Limited visibility

• Large search areas

• Time-sensitive situations

​

A fast, coordinated marine response can make the difference between life and loss.

​

Trained and Ready

​

ESAR volunteers train to operate safely and effectively in demanding environments, working alongside local and federal agencies when needed.

​

Our team is prepared to respond:

​

• Day or night

• In varying weather conditions

• Wherever help is needed

​
