Paloma Martín, Director of Programming at National Geographic in Spain, said, “Through various series that we have aired on the channel, we have shown how security forces operate in other countries, but we had never been able to witness how they do it in our own country.”

“When we were given the opportunity to exclusively delve into SEMAR and SVA, we didn’t hesitate to produce ‘Alert at Sea.’ In addition to depicting their work, we have been able to discover the individuals who work in the different teams, human teams that put their lives at risk on a daily basis.”
