The project initiates the creation of a comprehensive solution to the question of safety on the waters of the Great Masurian Lakes through the creation of a network of water rescue stations. The aims of the proposed project are to create a network of water rescue stations throughout the Great Masurian Lakes, to improve the equipment of the rescue services operating on the Great Masurian Lakes (rescue equipment), and to improve the skills of these rescue services (professional training). The area of the Great Masurian Lakes constitutes a region of unique natural beauty of international importance. It provides perfect conditions for the development of sailing tourism, which in turn causes a rise of safety concerns. This situation calls for organizational changes and an increase in efforts to enhance the safety of tourists on the lakes. The project aims to enhance the safety of navigation on the Great Masurian Lakes through complex solutions – the creation of a network of water rescue stations and the creation of favourable conditions for the further development of sailing tourism through ensuring safety and health services for both tourists and local residents. The effect of the project will be economic growth in the region through rising revenue from sailing tourism, as well as a greater involvement of residents, social institutions, local administration and local businesses in promoting tourism and enhancing safety on the water.
