Welcome to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) task force of the Water sports WikiProject. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of RNLI-related articles and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic.
If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
