St Davids RNLI responds to concerns of object in the water

The volunteer lifeboat crew launched the inshore lifeboat Trevor & Myrtle Gurr at 9pm to reports of an object reported in the water near Porthclais Harbour by a member of the public. The volunteer crew searched the area and nothing untoward was found. St Davids Coastguard Rescue Team were also in attendance conducting a cliff top search.

The inshore lifeboat was rehoused and ready for service again at 9:55pm.

This was a false alarm with good intent, if you see something you are concerned about on the coast please call the 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
