Marine Rescue
Marine Rescue Merimbula has been humbled by an unexpected and generous donation from Eve O’Brien of Eve O’Brien Properties. In recognition of the financial support, unit commander Bill Blakeman presented Eve O’Brien and Craig Smith with a certificate of appreciation at a special ceremony.
Mr Blakeman said the donation was put to use to pay for the replacement of a multi-functional display unit on the rescue vessel, Merimbula 30. “The replacement and upgrade of the display unit means that Marine Rescue Merimbula and the rescue vessel, now have better coverage of our waterways, which in turn will lead to a more efficient and speedy response to any requests for assistance,” he said.
Marine Rescue NSW is emphasising the importance of logging on and logging off with Marine Rescue when going out on the waterways either by using the Marine Rescue NSW smartphone app or contacting the base via marine radio or telephone.
