A voluntary organisation keeping a visual watch along UK shores

COMPETITION WINNER AT THE SOUTHAMPTON BOAT SHOW

28th September 2016. During the 2016 Southampton Boatshow, the National Coastwatch stand held a contest in which entrants had to look at 12 photographs of sea and coastal images and identify which represented a risk to safety. The British Marine President, David Pougher, made the single draw from all the correct answers with Daniel Owens of Helensburgh winning the £500 voucher kindly donated by Force 4 Chandlery.

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.
