| Summary: | Since 2020, illegal border crossings with the United Kingdom in unseaworthy boats have increased in the north of France. This research article attempts to present how this unprecedented situation has had repercussions in the field of civil protection. It first examines the reasons that make rescue intervention at sea necessary and shows a “thickening of the border” from land to sea, thus constructing a rescue intervention zone, “a liquid border zone” (Heller & Pezzani, 2014) whose surface area expands in relation to the degree of securitisation on land. Secondly, this article highlights the increase in rescue resources mobilised at sea, which implies that this new form of border expression is becoming permanent. Faced with shipwrecks and mass rescues, civil protection actors are adjusting their nautical resources within the framework of Search and Rescue (SAR) missions and their intervention practices. Finally, this study shows the disparity between the investment made by civil protection on land and at sea. This gap in resources highlights the ambivalence of state logics and the differing levels of protection afforded to exiles who are socially disaffiliated (Castel, 1994). |
