Civil sea rescue does not begin at sea.
Our work thrives on the collaboration of many people: our full-time teams establish structures, coordinate operations, and ensure stability. Volunteers contribute their time, energy, and dedication. It is only by working together that we make civil sea rescue possible.
Support our work from the shore by becoming a volunteer or staff member with Sea-Eye.
The base camp in Licata, Sicily, is the heart of our search and rescue operations. It serves as the central logistics hub in Licata for the SEA-EYE 5 and plays a key role in ensuring smooth preparations, resupply, and rest between missions.
Here, crews prepare for their operations, relax after their time at sea, and remain integrated into all operational structures. Established in October 2024, the base camp has evolved into a versatile and well-organized facility that supports both the ship’s operational requirements and the well-being of the crews during their stay in port.
The Basecamp Managment oversees the Basecamp in Licata, which serves as the logistical hub for the preparation and follow-up of our operations, coordinates supply chains and crew rotations, and leads the team. (Position currently not available.)
The logistics intern assists basecamp management in organizing and implementing all onshore logistics processes and gains practical experience in the areas of logistics, NGO work, and civilian maritime rescue.
The joker provides flexible support in various areas of the basecamp and helps the team wherever needed.
The cook prepares meals for the team on land and for the crew during the rotation, and assists with day-to-day operations at basecamp.
You, too, can become a part of Sea-Eye. Through targeted campaigns and events, we regularly raise awareness about maritime rescue.
Currently, there are the following local groups that are always happy to welcome new members:
Here, you can join one of our volunteer teams and support us as a volunteer—whether in graphic design, website development, educational outreach, or other areas. Would you like to get involved? Then get in touch with us and become part of the team.
