Plettenberg Bay NSRI Station 14 during lockdown

South Africa - Plettenberg Bay - 20 May 2020 - Despite the lockdown, NSRI Plettenberg Bay (Station 14) has remained operational. For the first half of lockdown all members stayed at home (but on call), thankfully there were no call-outs. Now they have split the crew into half to have an on-crew and an off-crew to be able to attend training to stay current, while keeping each other safe. The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) is a voluntary non-profit organization in South Africa tasked with saving lives through drowning prevention. Sea Rescue is manned by over 1 350 volunteers at rescue bases around the coast and on inland dams. South Africa is currently under lockdown in an attempt to flatten the curve to halt the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Video: David Ritchie/African News Agency(ANA)
