The object of the National Coastwatch Institution is to reinstate and extend a visual watch along our coast.

The need for National Coastwatch Institution Lookouts There are many cases each year where the presence of a manned NCI lookout has meant that the emergency services have been called quickly to the right place so that yachtsmen, divers, walkers, climbers or people in difficulty have been rescued.

How the National Coastwatch Institution is funded We depend entirely on the generosity of the public and the sponsorship of companies. The watch keepers are all volunteers who give their time and skills to train, keep watch and keep the station operational.
