Who responds to sea emergencies?
When someone gets into trouble in the sea, a range of emergency services are called upon. This typically includes the Coastguard, RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) lifeboats, police, and paramedics. Their rapid response, as seen in the Shoreham incident, is crucial for search and rescue operations and providing immediate medical aid.
