Saving Lives at Sea

Saving Lives at Sea (SL@S) is a UK-based charity dedicated to rescuing people in danger of drowning in the Mediterranean. They work closely with the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre, deploying rescue ships and volunteers to identify and assist boats in distress. Their efforts aim to prevent loss of life among migrants and refugees attempting dangerous sea crossings. Beyond rescue, SL@S promotes awareness of migrant issues and supports safe, legal pathways for migration. Their work emphasizes human lives, dignity, and the importance of coordinated maritime rescue operations to mitigate tragedy at sea.
