Safety minded skippers know it's wise to carry an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) that takes advantage of the international COSPAS/SARSAT search and rescue satellite system. Speaking at a press conference held in the Suitland, Maryland SARSAT Mission Control Center, officials from lead agencies involved in the program described the benefits it has had for the nation. Since its founding in 1982, the system has effected 22,000 rescues worldwide, with 6,000 of these occurring within the United States.
