Welcome
nci skegness

At National Coastwatch Skegness, our role is to watch out for your safety when you are using the sea or beach on our particular part of the shore. The station is manned totally by a dedicated group of volunteers.

We are part of the National Coastwatch Institution, one link in a chain of stations that circle our country’s coastline. Funding from sponsors and our own fundraising activities provides the finance that keeps us ‘afloat’.

We watch out for danger, or potential problems, to:

  • commercial and recreational shipping
  • leisure craft and water sport activities
    (eg jet skis, dinghy’s, body boards)
  • swimmers in difficulties
  • beach users
  • lost children

In addition we have also been able to deal with:

  • the rescue of seals and birds from the beach,
  • large beached debris including munitions,
  • carcasses which we report to the authorities for removal.

TECHNOLOGICAL HELP

It is important that we use the best methods at our disposal to help us in our watch. We use:

  • Radar,
  • AIS & NAVTEX technology,
  • Weather Display Software.
