Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The RNLI is a charity and not a Government funded service.

A petition which called for legislation to establish a state-funded lifeboat service, with salaried crew, would be more likely to meet the rules for petitions.
