NGO Sea Watch

Sea-Watch is a non-governmental organization based in Germany that conducts rescue operations in the Central Mediterranean Sea, primarily assisting migrants and refugees attempting to cross from North Africa to Europe. Its mission is to save lives by locating and rescuing people in distress at sea, often amid challenging and dangerous conditions. Sea-Watch also advocates for the rights and safety of migrants, calling for coordinated European policies to address migration humanely. The organization operates ships in international waters and works within legal and humanitarian frameworks, aiming to reduce migrant fatalities and support safer migration routes.
