NCI RHOSCOLYN OPENS

22 July 2011 - The old coastguard station at Rhoscolyn on Anglesey has been re-opened as a National Coastwatch lookout station. The opening ceremony took place on 20 July in the presence of Susan Davies, the station’s Coastguard Liaison Officer (pictured).

Many of the stations new volunteers were present together with the coxswain and crew of the local RNLI lifeboat which had been recently launched by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

David Littlemore will be the new station’s acting manager. Rhoscolyn is the second station to open in North Wales following the opening of NCI Porthdinllaen on the Lleyn Peninsula in April 2010.

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.
