CERTIFICATES PRESENTED TO NCI EXMOUTH WATCHKEEPERS

4th May 2017. NCI Exmouth Station Manager Graham Nye recently presented an award to Hilary Lloyd for five years’ service as a watchkeeper. In the last three years she has qualified as a training officer, helping new volunteers make the grade.

 Volunteer Valery Ayling was also presented with a certificate for completing her training and becoming a watchkeeper and Mr Nye awarded a certificate to Margaret Morris who has also qualified as a watchkeeper.

 “These additional volunteers will enable Exmouth Coastwatch to increase the number of watches carried out over the busy summer period to provide greater safety for those using the beach and estuary,” 
Mr Nye said.

About

Currently almost 60 National Coastwatch stations are operational and manned by over 2600 volunteer watchkeepers around the British Isles from Fleetwood in the North West, through Wales, to the South and East of England to Filey in North Yorkshire. 

National Coastwatch watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies offering a variety of skills and experience, and full training by the National Coastwatch ensures that high standards are met.
