We recently marked the 10th anniversary of the service's official establishment on July 1, 2009.

Our volunteers are remarkable.

They are skilled, experienced and saving lives is in their DNA.

We have 3000 volunteers based in 44 rescue units along the coastline and on two high-risk inland waterways.

Each can be rightly proud of their achievements and service.

Over the decade, Marine Rescue NSW crews have launched more than 25,000 rescue missions.

This includes more than 7000 rescue missions in response to life-endangering emergencies - to return more than 50,000 boaters to safety.

Our crews are committed to our mission to save lives, placing their own safety on the line to rescue boaters in hazardous seas, bad weather and under darkness.

Our radio operators are on duty 24/7.

These communications experts have handled almost 2.4 million calls in the past eight years.

This included Logging On more than 583,000 vessels to track their voyages and ensure that everyone makes it home safely to their loved ones.

The service has transformed over a decade with the new inland units and professional volunteer training and equipment, including 91 new and refurbished rescue vessels, worth more than $21 million.

We could not have developed and grown without the ongoing financial support of the NSW Government and the boating community, who contribute to our operations through a levy on recreational boating licences and registrations.

The State Government's commitment of an additional $37.6 million to Marine Rescue NSW over the next four years ensures that we are now set for a second decade of service as strong as our first.

This funding will enable us to expand our rescue capability further by accelerating the delivery of 38 new vessels.

It will also allow us to upgrade our operating facilities and further improve the state's marine radio network.

My heart is bursting for these three beautiful girls. What a blessed little family they are to have each other.

I said it would be beautiful.

Would be perfect but the house is right next to the highway.

Let's hope it does not end up as bad as they are predicting.

You all (SES) do an amazing job.

That's amazing!
