The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) is a charity and a voluntary organisation set up to maintain a visual watch along the shores of England and Wales.
Today 60 stations keep a visual watch around the coastline of England and Wales, with more to be commissioned.
NCI stations operate along the coast from Rossall Point in the North West, around Wales, along the Cornwall and Devon coasts, Southern and Eastern England to Sunderland in the North East.
