When you hear a VHF radio, tuned to marine emergency channel 16, squawk to life, our marine search and rescue volunteers go on high alert. Hearing “Pan-Pan” or “Mayday” means a mariner’s life is in danger and needs assistance urgently.
Persons missing, in medical distress or collisions, onboard fires, mechanical failures, and boats taking on water are many of the missions that the volunteer-based Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) tackles.
