Somos un grupo de socorristas y patrones que llevamos años realizando las tareas de socorrismo y salvamento marítimo de manera voluntaria en Euskadi. Ante la actual situación migratoria en el Mar Egeo (Grecia) hemos creado la asociación Salvamento Marítimo Humanitario (SMH) para salvar vidas. Nuestra vocación de servicio nos empuja a acudir a socorrer a los refugiados que se aventuran en busca de nuevas oportunidades cruzando el mar. Nuestro objetivo es salvaguardar la vida de las personas en la mar con los principios de voluntariado, solidaridad, humanidad, universalidad, igualdad, imparcialidad y dignidad. 

We are a group of people linked to the emergencies, who is involved in tasks of sea-watch, rescue and health care. In response to the humanitarian crisis in the Aegean Sea (Greece) in November 2015, we created the Humanitarian Maritime Rescue Association (SMH in Spanish) to help and assist people who find no other way than risking their lives by crossing the sea.

Our aim is to preserve the lives of people under the principles of volunteerism, solidarity, humanity, universality, equality, impartiality and dignity.

Today, in addition to the ground actions and training of our volunteers, we do also carry out awareness campaigns on Human Rights.
