Every day, an average of five adults and one child die while trying to cross the Mediterranean in search of safety. Since 2015, Sea-Watch has been carrying out search and rescue operations to save people in distress at sea and stands in solidarity with people on the move. To date, we have been involved in the rescue of more than 50,000 people. To continue this work for the long term, we need your support.

Five good reasons to become a Sea-Watch supporting member
- Become part of a movement that actively stands up for human rights.
Starting from just €5 a month, you make our work possible: from search and rescue missions at sea and aerial documentation to political advocacy on land. Your regular donation helps us plan our operations and ensures that Sea-Watch remains capable of acting independently over the long term, without relying on government funding. Together, we can stand in solidarity with people on the move. - Stay informed.
You will regularly receive our supporting members’ newsletter, featuring in-depth updates on civilian search and rescue, Sea-Watch’s work, and personal stories from our crews. (You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, of course.) If you wish, we’ll also send you our annual report free of charge by post, so you can always see exactly what your contribution has made possible. - Get a behind-the-scenes look.
Whether it’s a book talk, panel discussion, or film screening, we’ll invite you to Sea-Watch events in your area. In addition, we host exclusive webinars for our supporting members several times a year, giving you the opportunity to speak directly with Sea-Watch activists about their work. - Your contributions are tax-deductible in Germany.
You will automatically receive your donation receipt for your tax return during the first quarter of the following year. - Stay flexible.
You can change your membership contribution and payment frequency at any time or cancel your supporting membership whenever you wish. If you have any questions about your membership, you can always reach us by email.
