LOCAL MP ENJOYS VISIT TO NCI EXMOUTH

24th October 2021. The volunteers at NCI Exmouth were very pleased to be visited by Simon Jupp, Member of Parliament for East Devon, last week. He chatted to the duty watchkeepers and met Station Manager Ivor Jones who explained what the NCI does and how we work with HM Coastguard and the other Search and Rescue services.

Simon commented, “It was a pleasure to visit NCI Exmouth and learn about their great work. I’d like to thank all the volunteers involved who work incredibly hard to keep us safe at sea and on the beach. They have my full support and I’m looking forward to raising awareness of their work in East Devon and beyond”.

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.
