Coastwatch,
Felixstowe
This
old Martello Tower at the west end of the seafront is home to the
National Coastwatch Institution in Felixstowe. The station is manned
by volunteers who assist HM Coastguard and the rescue services by
maintaining a visual watch along the coastline. The visual lookout
is situated 45ft above sea level. As well as locating people and
vessels in difficulty volunteers help monitor and record local weather
conditions.
Each
station is responsible for its own funding and the training of watchkeepers.
Volunteers are all ages and come from many different walks of life.
They are trained to look out for sea and shore users in trouble
and must know how to deal with an emergency.
