The search is on to find volunteers to run a new Coast Watch station in Filey.
The National Coast Watch Institute are holding an event on Thursday for potential recruits to find out more about the organisations plans for a station in the town.
Sector Manager - Mike Johnson - says the new station should be in operation for the summer season.
Currently there are 57 Coast watch stations around the UK operated by over 2600 volunteers
They keep watch around the British Isles for maritime emergencies and provide reports to the coastguard.
Currently the northernmost station on the east coast is at Hornsea.
Pending planning agreement, the new mobile station is going to be located on the seafront at the south end of Filey beach. The NCI team say they need local support and volunteers to run it.

Mike says:
"We are running an information / recruitment event at the Evron Centre, 1a John St, Filey, YO14 9DQ, on Thursday 17th March staring at 2.30pm.
We would like to invite people to come and see us for a couple of hours and bring a friend if they wish.
There is no need to book or stand on formalities. We will tell attendees everything they need to know about NCI and the new station with lots of time for questions. We’ll also provide tea and biscuits on arrival!"
Mike Johnson says the mobile station will be a temporary watch station until plans for a permanent station can be finalised.
