Sea-Watch is a German NGO founded to prevent loss of life at sea in the context of the migration crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. Sea-Watch engages in search and rescue activities in the Med through volunteers crews, in collaboration with the relevant humanitarian and institutional actors at Sea. The Organisation advocates for the establishment of legal entries to Europe and for the EU to take responsibility over the present migration crisis. Sea-Watch is active both in the Central Mediterranean Sea, between Sicily and Libya, and in the Aegean Sea, between Greece and Turkey.
