00:00Whilst missions were down this March and we want to see that trend continue,
00:05Marine Rescue NSW volunteers across the state still returned 799 people to shore.
00:12Engine and battery failure accounted for just over 50% of these responses in March.
00:17Boaters can help reduce these incidents by ensuring their vessels undergo regular maintenance.
00:23Boaters heeded the warnings and did not put their lives or others at risk by venturing out.
00:28We thank them for monitoring the weather and for making smart choices.
00:33During that time, almost 30 Marine Rescue NSW flood rescue and support volunteers
00:39were deployed across the Mid-North Coast and Northern Rivers
00:42to assist communities impacted by ex-tropical cyclone Alfred.
00:46It takes boaters just one minute to log on via the Marine Rescue NSW app
00:51or via VHF Channel 16.
00:53It ensures our volunteers keep watch for their safe return.
00:58At this time, we have the same routes of déjà grave.
01:03They are actually in the last few months and since they are still on the main note,
01:04they are currently found on a new side in the National Assort.
01:06So to talk about that, we are sending into the air bubbles.
01:08This is the air bubbles, they are still still on the air bubbles.
01:10They are not using the air bubbles, they are actually on the air bubbles.
01:12They are still on the air bubbles.
01:14They are also on the air bubbles.
01:16They are still on the air bubbles.
