We dream of a world in which no one fleeing their home has to drown.

Do you too?

Then let’s take action together.

We believe in the right to freedom of movement.

That is why Sea-Watch has been active in the central Mediterranean since 2015, rescuing people in distress at sea. We stand in solidarity with people on the move and have been involved in rescuing over 47,000 people to date. We want justice. We believe in change. And we will not give up!

Maybe that makes us dreamers. But maybe you dream too?
Let’s take action together.

What we do

At sea and in the air

Sea-Watch is vehemently committed to ensuring that no one has to die at Europe’s deadly sea border.

In view of the humanitarian catastrophe with thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean, the idea for the Sea-Watch project was born in 2014. In spring 2015 we bought an old cutter and rebuilt it for use in sea rescue. With the help of numerous volunteer activists who set up the project in Germany or who have been crew members in the Mediterranean between Libya and Italy since June 2015, we have succeeded in effectively saving thousands of people.

The voluntary commitment of many is the core of our work. They have provided us with their knowledge and skills in shipping, medicine, mechanics, logistics, public relations and much more.
