Surf Life Saving Northern Region

Surf Life Saving Northern Region (SLSNR) is the organisation responsible for controlling the surf lifesaving activities around the Auckland region of New Zealand. It is also responsible for Far North Rescue. It is a district organization of Surf Life Saving New Zealand.

SLSNR keeps in contact with the 17 surf clubs under its responsibility through radios or by telephone. Every patrol fills in a form detailing local conditions and the type of patrol set up. This is relayed to SLSNR (known as SurfCom over the radio) at the Marine Rescue Centre at the start of each daily patrol. At the end of the patrol a follow-up report is sent off detailing the number of guards patrolling, the number of rescue vehicles used, and the number of rescues, first aids, searches and preventative actions. This information is useful in allocating funding to individual clubs.
