Coastguard station Clevedon has its own small coastguard station right on the Marine Lake. Capable of organising a search and rescue service, it has been established for over 25 years. However, recent reviews by the national body has led to the closure of a neighbouring station along the Bristol Channel at Swansea, but this one appears to be safe for the time being.
