Celebrating Coastguard's Best - Our Awards Of Excellence 2024 Winners |
||
Coastguard Tautiaki Moana is thrilled to announce the winners of our 2024 Awards of Excellence. These awards celebrate the passion, commitment, and outstanding efforts of our volunteers, whose contributions over the past year have been instrumental in saving lives and supporting communities. Every day, our volunteers pour their time, energy, and passion into their mahi, going above and beyond to keep people safe on the water.
Coastguard only exists because of our highly trained and skilled volunteers. Over the past 12 months, more than 2,000 volunteers generously gave 303,048 hours to lifesaving efforts. They responded to 2,867 incidents, bringing 7,196 people to safety and saving 48 lives.
Coastguard extends heartfelt congratulations to all the winners, finalists, and nominees for this year’s Awards of Excellence.
