Its sources of financing suffer from long-term uncertainty. Public funding, provided by the State and local authorities, is structurally insufficient. Of his On the other hand, private financing is essentially based on donations. The service provided by the SNSM benefits both pleasure boating and nautical leisure users, and both the State, given the public service mission provided. It is therefore imperative that the financing of the SNSM be sustained via multiple resources and fairly distributed with regard to the service provided. Boaters and water sports enthusiasts must be mobilized for their rescue at sea, and the State and local authorities must assume the costs of delegating public services, while respecting public finances. A report to the Prime Minister dated July 1, 2016, from Ms. Chantal Guittet, relating to the sustainability of the SNSM model, also makes recommendations in this direction.
