Maritime
Coastguard Agency - As
an island nation, 97% of the UK's trade by weight is by sea, and there
can be no doubt that shipping is vital to the UK economy. Our fishermen
and fishing communities also rely on the sea for their livelihood,
and many of us use beaches and the coast for leisure and sport.
We have 10,500 miles of outstandingly beautiful coastline.
This Agency
is responsible throughout the UK for implementing the Government's
maritime safety policy. That includes co-ordinating search and rescue
at sea through Her Majesty's Coastguard, and checking that ships meet
UK and international safety rules. We work to prevent the loss of
lives at the coast and at sea, to ensure that ships are safe, and
to prevent coastal pollution Safer Lives, Safer Ships, Cleaner Seas.

Visit
Lincolnshire - Lincolnshire’s a county blessed by hundreds
of miles of waterways. With its rivers and canals there’s
lots of opportunities to ‘Get away from it all’ to a
slower, more peaceful way of life.
Once
great barges plied these waters, thriving inland ports where Lincolnshires
rich produce was exported. Things are quieter today, as roads and
railways take the freight. Waterways were neglected, deteriorated
and fell into disrepair. But thanks to the Lincolnshire Waterways
Project, wide stretches are being opened up again for sport and
leisure.
