ocean rescue
Maritime emergency response
Ocean rescue is the act of saving people from danger at sea—drowning swimmers, capsized boaters, victims of shipwrecks.
The term covers both professional operations by coast guards and lifeguards and emergency interventions by nearby vessels.
As a modifier, it describes teams, equipment, or training devoted to such efforts: ocean rescue swimmers, an ocean rescue boat.
