NSRI is manned by over 1 200 volunteers at bases around the coast and on inland dams. Donations, bequests and sponsorships cover the annual running cost of R150m. The volunteers save Sea Rescue a salary bill in excess of R350m per annum.

NSRI began in 1967 - as a humanitarian service, at no charge to the public and recently celebrated 50 years of service..
