24.01.2022 It's National Volunteer Week!! We want to give a massive THANK YOU to our wonderful Werribee flotilla volunteers! Our crew members give endlessly to keep Port Philip Bay safe, train other crew members and ensure the flotilla continues to run smoothly. Without your hard work and dedication we would not be able to provide such a professional and speedy response to emergency call outs, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For a rewarding career in volunteering come join us at https://coastguard.com.au/volunteer/

21.01.2022 Great effort by our Gippsland flotilla’s who helped evacuate holiday makers via sea off the beach at Tamboon. Very brave in eerie circumstances.

13.01.2022 The Government has delivered on its commitment to establish the Better Boating Fund and return every dollar of marine licensing and boat registration fees to improving boating safety and facilities. A Victorian first, this strategy will provide the road map for future investment and the boating community will have a chance to help us shape it.

06.01.2022 Last year we saw a big increase in rock fishing drowning deaths, with 6x the number of deaths compared to the 10 year average. It’s also one of the most dangerous sports in Australia! Don’t let your fishing trip end in tragedy: Observe the conditions before heading out onto the rocks, and stay alert for changes Ask for advice from locals who know the area... Always wear a life jacket Never fish alone Inform others of your plans Wear light clothing and appropriate footwear Carry safety gear including a rope and a float Never fish in exposed areas during rough or large seas Plan an escape route in case you are washed in For ideas and info to help you stay safe this summer, visit: https://lsv.com.au/summersafety/ #PISBTW #watersafety #safersummer #rockfishing #drowningprevention
