The Sea Safety Group is an non-governmental organisation with it's headquarters in the UK.

An important role of the group is the number of coastal surveillance stations in which volunteers give up a few hours a week to keep a visual watch on coastal waters in support of search and rescue operations. They also monitor all distress channels on VHF radio.

These volunteers assist and report directly to H.M. Coastguard who annually test the stations for the granting of Declared Facility Status.

The volunteers receive "on the watch" training in the basics of visual and radio watch keeping, reporting, simple ship recognition and the understanding of navigational terms and charts. None of this is demanding, it just requires an appreciation of the sea and those who use it.

To view the web sites of any of the Coast Watch Stations within the Sea Safety Group, please click on any of the Station names on the menu bar at the top of the page ..... or click on a Station thumbnail on the map below.
