Association for the rescue of fleeing people in the central Mediterranean
Sea-Eye rescues fleeing people from unseaworthy boats in the Mediterranean. We look for helpless people in distress at sea, and fight against the daily loss of life there. Our activity is an answer to the failed migration policies of the European Union, which is denying its responsibility for the thousands of deaths in its immediate proximity.
With our rescue missions, we fill a gap in the search and rescue activity on the Mediterranean Sea to save as many people as possible from drowning. Because European states have withdrawn from their responsibility, Sea-Eye pays attention and protects the right to life.
We are a non-profit association, which is religiously and politically independent. Our work is exclusively financed through donations.

“It is a fundamental commandment of Christian seafaring to save people from distress. In Hamburg and Lubeck, those traditional harbour cities, this is fortunately still a common good. Let us make this the standard again Europe-wide!”

“Neighborly love means for us that, no matter where people come from, what ancestry they have, which skin colour they have, which religion they belong to, we welcome them here with open arms and do not leave them to die miserably in the Mediterranean.”

Together against the loss of life at sea
The destruction of flight to Europe
The attacks by EU states on people fleeing to Europe are becoming increasingly brutal. The recent events in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta are just another link in a long chain of escalating state violence.
All rescued people of the SEA-EYE 4 have gone ashore
Yesterday, the crew was able to say goodbye to the last of the more than 400 rescued people in the port of Pozzallo and successfully complete the first rescue mission with our new ship SEA-EYE 4. However, the reception was anything but warm.
SEA-EYE 4: The first rescue mission
The first rescue mission of the SEA-EYE 4 has ended successfully. We have summarized the events of this special mission in a video and we have one request.
