marine safety organizations

Marine safety organizations are groups dedicated to ensuring the safety of people, ships, and the environment at sea. They develop and enforce regulations, provide search and rescue services, and promote safety standards for maritime operations. Examples include the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which sets global rules, and coast guards or maritime authorities in various countries that oversee port safety and respond to emergencies. These organizations work together to prevent accidents, protect lives, and minimize environmental pollution from maritime activities.
