What is Coast Watch Wales?
Coast Watch Wales is an initiative designed to enhance the security of the Welsh coast line and identify both vessels and individuals engaged in suspicious maritime and coastal based activity.
Such activity could be linked to smuggling, organised crime and terrorist activity.
Coast Watch Wales is an amalgamation of specialist officers and agencies that include Customs, Immigration, Police, Coastguard and the Royal Navy. Coast Watch Wales is able to swiftly assess information passed and respond accordingly.
Coast Watch Wales intends to provide an environment that those engaged in criminal activity on the coast of Wales will find difficult to operate in and through effective communication and reporting will be identified and prosecuted.
The intention is to disrupt those engaged in criminal activity through effective communication with the maritime and coastal community and continue to make the coastline and waterways of Wales a safe environment for you to enjoy.
