9th July 2022. Just 12 years after NCI Calshot Tower opened on July 1st 2010, their satellite station at NCI Stone Point today commenced watches in their new, purpose-built unit in Lepe Country Park.
The new station location provides a much improved view of Lepe Spit and the central Solent , while still allowing observation of the entrance to Beaulieu River and the western Solent.
Good luck to all the National Coastwatch Institution Stone Point volunteers in their new home.
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.
The words National Coastwatch Institution and Eyes Along the Coast and the NCI logos are Registered Trademarks of NCI.
