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 Because European states have withdrawn from their responsibility, Sea-Eye pays attention and protects the right to life.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.

Special thanks to:
“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!”
– Bishop Kirsten Fehrs –
“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
Systematic Attacks On Sea Rescuers Continue
The basics of EU policy in the Central Mediterranean: While civil sea rescue is being attacked by all means possible, the EU finances the so-called Libyan coast guard to push refugees back to the civil war country and its torture camps.
Donations needed for the heart of the SEA-EYE 4
A technical problem was discovered in the shipyard of the SEA-EYE 4 and we need your help to solve it. Jörg is a shipbuilding engineer on board the SEA-EYE 4 and explains the details.
“Why are we doing this?”
This question was asked by Jan Ribbeck, vice chairman of Sea-Eye, at the christening of the SEA-EYE 4. In his answer he had the mission of our association firmly in mind.
