Her Majesty's Coastguard is one of the four UK emergency services - saving lives at the coast for almost 200 years.

Today, HM Coastguard delivers a modern search and rescue (SAR) service, responding to 999 calls as well as radio and satellite distress calls.

When someone’s in trouble, we send out helicopters, lifeboats and coastguard rescue teams. We coordinate this from our 12 control rooms around the UK coast - 24-hours a day, 365-days a year.

Sea and coastal conditions can change fast and you can get into trouble before you know it. Enjoy the coast safely, make sure you check weather and tides before you set out, wear appropriate clothing and footwear and be aware of the risks.

If you spot someone in danger at sea, or on the coast, you should always call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
