National Coastwatch Volunteering Opportunity
Oct 29th, 2009 | By Vincent Woods | Isle of Wight News From The Island PulseThe National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) is currently looking at several new sites on the Isle of Wight as potential lookout stations. The locations currently under consideration include Bembridge, Cowes, West Wight, Sandown Bay and Ryde.
Today there are 41 operational watch stations around the UK coast, from Cornwall in the south west to Wearside in the north east. Their mission is to assist in the protection and preservation of life at sea and along the UK coastline.
The Isle of Wight NCI Team is keen to hear from anyone wishing to learn more about the charity and how to train as station crew. No previous experience is required, as full training is provided.
Full details of the NCI can be found at www.nci.org.uk
