NCI Exmouth is currently looking for new watchkeepers.

The volunteer coastwatch service has recently trained up two new recruits, Bill Harvey and Nick Robertson (pictured).

In training they reportedly learnt the history and the overall operation of the National Coastwatch Institution including the use of equipment in the lookout, logging of vessels, chart work, health and safety and VHF radio communications.

Station Manager Ivor Jones said: "We always welcome new faces and with the slightly quieter months coming up, it's an ideal time to undertake the training watches before assessment."
