Coordination and documentation platform for people in distress at sea
The Civil MRCC aims to contribute towards creating a network of solidarity in support of people on the move. It supports the fleet of NGOs that have assisted and brought to safety tens of thousands of people since 2014. This was done through maritime rescues carried out by NGO ships, aerial monitoring flights with civil aircrafts, as well as through the Alarm Phone hotline.

As a growing network of solidarity gathering different non-governmental actors and individuals with Search and Rescue (SAR) experience in the Mediterranean, the CMRCC:
- Endeavours to hold coastal states accountable for their duty to coordinate search and rescue activities in compliance with human rights principles, and to support ship-masters engaged in sea rescue operations
- Facilitates and improves an effective cooperation and communication between the different non-state actors engaged in SAR operations at sea
- Gathers data and information on cases of distress in the Central Mediterranean area, in order to raise public awareness and support advocacy efforts and research
