What are the Hazards of Survival and Rescue in a Marine Environment?
Major survival hazards in a marine environment include drowning, hypothermia, which is the lowering of your core body temperature, seasickness, marine life, such as sharks, barracuda, and barnacles, and psychological factors, such as panic and fear. The marine environment itself is also hazardous, including conditions such as winds, waves, and currents.
Keep hot spots covered. These are areas of the body where heat loss occurs the most. If possible, regroup with others in the water to conserve energy and stay warm. A large group also stands out more than a single person.
A rescue requires all those involved to remain alert, and to follow all instructions from rescue personnel. Types of rescue include surface-to-surface, which is done by boat and is risky, especially in rough seas. Another type is air-to-surface, which is done by helicopter. This is the method generally used by the U.S. and other coast guards.

Trump Rally in Wilkes-Barre:Calls media 'fake, fake disgusting news'
Capacity crowd at Mohegan Sun Arena
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump (all times local):
President Donald Trump is continuing to air his grievances against the press, calling them "the fake, fake disgusting news."
Trump told a rally crowd in Wilkes-Barre (WILKS'-ba-ree), Pennsylvania, on Thursday that the media refuses to give him credit for a long list of accomplishments, including his summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russia's Vladimir Putin.
He's describing how he tells his wife about how he "just stopped missiles from being launched every two seconds" or accomplished other things, and thinks the media" is "finally going to treat me so good," but doesn't.
He's also mocking the press for saying he wasn't tough enough on Putin.
He says, "They wanted me to go up and have a boxing match," but asks: "Whatever happened to diplomacy?"
President Donald Trump is hailing Senate candidate Lou Barletta as a "star" and a "legend" during a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump said Thursday in Wilkes-Barre (WILKS'-ba-ree) that Rep. Barletta is "smart, he's strong, he loves this state."
And he says: "He's like a legend."
Barletta is running to unseat two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, whom Trump blasted as "so overrated."
Barletta claims that Casey has become one of the most liberal senators in Washington and says he no longer represents the values of the people of Pennsylvania.
Barletta is a fervent Trump supporter who shares Trump's hard-line views on immigration.
He tells Trump: "We're not tiring of winning, Mr. President. We're not tired of winning."
President Donald Trump is once again fondly recalling the night of his 2016 election victory.
Trump took the stage at a Wilkes-Barre (WILKS'-ba-ree), Pennsylvania, rally on Thursday by declaring: "I'm thrilled to be back in the state that gave us American independence."
He's asking his supporters to "remember that incredible night" when he won the 2016 election.
He's also accusing the "fake news" of dragging its feet and refusing to call the state in his favor sooner and blaming "suppression polls" for misrepresenting his support.
There is no evidence either is the case.
Trump was the first Republican presidential nominee to win Pennsylvania since 1988.
More than 100 protesters are lined up on either side of the sidewalk ahead of President Donald Trump's appearance at a rally in Wilkes-Barre (WILKS'-ba-ree), Pennsylvania.
It's forcing Trump's supporters to walk a narrow gantlet Thursday on their way to the arena as protesters scream at them, "Shame! Shame! Shame!"
Thirty-six-year-old union laborer Jeff LaFrance held up one end of a giant "Impeach Trump" sign and says he has no sympathy for the rally attendees.
He says he thinks "it's shameful they could support someone the likes of Trump."
He's also calling Trump's supporters "willfully ignorant" about issues like the separation of migrant children from their parents at the U.S. border.
Most rallygoers ignored the taunts, but some engaged, yelling "Trump! Trump!" or muttering epithets.
One man replied cheerfully, "I'm a proud Deplorable!"
President Donald Trump swiped Pennsylvania from the Democrats in 2016. Now he is trying to help Republicans take a Senate seat there.
Trump is holding a rally Thursday evening in Wilkes-Barre to back Rep. Lou Barletta, who's running to unseat two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey.
Barletta is a fervent Trump supporter who shares his hard-line views on immigration. Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate to win Pennsylvania since 1988.
Trump has accelerated his campaign schedule in recent weeks to help Republicans he favors both in primaries and November's midterms.
The rally comes at a tumultuous time for Trump, who lashed out this week at the Russia probe that threatens his presidency.
It also comes during a period of heightened antagonism from Trump and his supporters toward the media.

WILLINGBORO � Kevin Sarlo�s resume is complete.
The best golfer on the best high school team in the state of New Jersey took home the title of Burlington County Scholastic League champion with a three-over 75 at Rancocas Golf Club on Wednesday. In doing so, he also helped lead the Falcons to a repeat win in the team standings, a two-stroke win over Rancocas Valley.
For Sarlo and his teammates, the team win was a piece of unfinished business. After winning the state�s Tournament of Champions, the Falcons came home and got a wakeup call.
�This was redemption for losing that dual match last week against Moorestown,� Sarlo said. �That didn�t feel real good. We really wanted to come in here and blow away everyone else.
Corey Johnson�s 77 put the Red Devils into the title hunt and himself into second place on the day. Johnson was two strokes behind Sarlo and Rancocas Valley finished two strokes behind Township. Matt Ade of Holy Cross was third with an 80.
Brandon Roche, who shot 82, and Drew Guarino, who shot 87, rounded out the foursome.
For Liberty, winning the BCSL team title was a just reward.
Liberty shot a 76 to help Township secure the South-Central Group 3 sectional title and an automatic bid in the Tournament of Champions. After shooting the round of his life in the sectionals, Liberty gave up his spot in the Tournament of Champions to give the Falcons their best shot at a once-in-a-lifetime win. Nick Cappetti played in Liberty�s spot in the TOC.
Cappetti stayed home Wednesday so Liberty could play for a BCSL title. Cappetti was the first call once the Falcons clinched the BCSL title. Liberty knows the feeling.
Other than a few loose ends here or there, the BCSL Open marks the end of the high school golf season. Once the final groups trickled in, the teams sat down and ate together. Tons of laughs were shared. Friendships forged on golf courses across South Jersey were revisited, some for the final time.
Rancocas Valley�s Kelsey Solan, who finished fourth in the state girls tournament last week, is one of those seniors that was seeing their high school careers end.
There�s something about spending nine holes together day after day that builds a bond. No team did that better this spring than Burlington Township. The medals and trophies that the Falcons collected this season will stand as testament to their talents. For this team, it wasn�t just about talent.
