Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fishguard coastguard/Gwylwyr y Glannau This small building, which stands just off the road at the northwestern edge of the town, is the base for a team of 12 which covers an area from Porthgain to the beach at Newport, supporting full-time coastguards and volunteer life-boat crews in emergencies such as locating and rescuing missing people.

It is one of about 400 around the UK and although members have a variety of full-time day jobs they are on-call around-the-clock, every day of the year.

In 2007 the Fishguard team was instrumental in instituting liability insurance for volunteers following the injury of one of its members in the course of his duties. Hitherto the unpaid coastguards have had no disability compensation and their action, which involved threatening to turn off their pagers, has benefited all.
