Welcome Everyone to the Rhossili Coastguard website. Rhossili Coastguard is a long established team that is located on the south-west side of the Gower Peninsula. The site has been created so that you, the audience, can have an insight into what we do in the coastguards as many people believe that we just go out to sea and help people that are in trouble but our duties are much more than that. The team at Rhossili is a Search & Rescue, Cliff Team and our roles include:

- Coastal Search and Rescue which includes cliff and search operations
- Surveillance, communications and intelligence gathering
- On scene presence and co-ordination when required by the rescue centre
- Reporting and arranging the safeguarding of hazardous objects
- Public safety operations/assistance to civil authorities, e.g. searches in remote areas
- Local liaison and SAR prevention
- Assistance at PR events
- Manning of remote radio sites
- Service to the local community

We at Rhossili Coastguard are controlled by the MRCC in Mumbles, Swansea who are responsible for the calling out of the Coastguard Rescue Teams (CRT's) in the bank of the River Tywi in Carmarthenshire through to the upper reaches of the River Severn and around to Marsland Mouth on the Devon Cornwall border. As the CRT's are all auxillary teams in the Gower Sector it is sometimes required that additioanl emergency service vehicles are called to assist the coastguards which may include the SeaKing Helicopter right through to the local police.
