Drishti Marines
260+ Children trained and 1200+ animal intervention
Drishti Marines is a non-profit organisation and member of the International Life Saving Federation. Drishti Marines along with Drishti Lifesaving Pvt Ltd and Special Rescue Training Academy as execution partners has launched the “Learn to Float” project, which is inspired by Australia's “Float to Survive” and till date eight batches of over 260+ students have completed training.
With past experience and internal study on the matter of drowning it was noted that drowning occurs mainly due to fear of individuals of not floating. If a proper floating technique is taught to individuals there is a high chance of a split-second advantage for rescuers to rescue the individual. We believe that no individual should die due to drowning, therefore we reach out to other nations for the exchange of knowledge, techniques and experiences.
Drishti Lifeguards are trained to save human lives and are also the designated first responders to any marine stranding. Drishti Marines voluntarily provides the stranding first response service to the State Forest Department as a network collaborator. Goa has seen over 1200+ cases of stranded marine animals, terrestrial snakes and birds across the state coastline. The network was formed in 2017 through a collaboration between the Goa State Forest Department and Drishti Marines.
