Mark Ellis, Senior Maritime Operations Officer from HM Coastguard said: “The team had to use its skill in water rescue techniques – They put in the training for moments just like these. The man was rescued by the Coastguard team and was checked over. We love the coast and we want everyone to enjoy it safely and carefully. Even the most experienced ​of people can find themselves in trouble or get caught out by weather or tide. It is important to remember If you get into difficulty or see someone who is, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard”.
