LATEST UPDATE: 9th August 2020

Charlestown resumed watchkeeping in July, initially with one watch per day.   In August we are operting with two watches on most days.  Watches are currently planned to cover the greatest risk from rising tides since many of our incidents involve strandings.  September will continue as August.

The next Briefing Meeting and AGM will be held when Covid19 conditions permit.

The latest Training Manual has now been installed on the website and can be accessed using the 'Station Training Information' tab on the left of the home page.

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.
