30th Anniversary of the Torbay National Coastwatch Institution

That this House celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Torbay National Coastwatch Institution; pays tribute to its volunteers for their outstanding service in providing vital information on weather conditions, radio checks for yachtsmen and fishermen, and details of the sea state and tides for all those taking part in water sports and maritime activities; recognises that since the closure of the Brixham Coastguard in October 2014, the Torbay National Coastwatch Institution has continued to play an essential role in keeping watch over the bay, alerting HM Coastguard and directing rescue services when people are in difficulty; acknowledges the growing popularity of sailing, sea kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, wild swimming and coasteering, which make the work of the Institute more important than ever; and extends heartfelt thanks to all volunteers across the National Coastwatch Institution around the United Kingdom for their dedication, vigilance and selfless service in helping to protect everyone who works on or enjoys our coastal waters.
