The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) has launched a new website (see www.nci.org.uk) incorporating the domain sites and details for every NCI watch station operating around the UK coastline. Of the 39 stations now operational, 24 have achieved Declared Facility Status as agreed by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Some 1,500 volunteers contribute over 170,000 hours of watch keeping annually at no cost to the public.
