In order to simplify reporting on CWS events and outreach, an electronic logging system has been built by Paul Edwards of NCI St Ives on behalf of the national Coastal and Water Safety team. The log is very easy to complete, and can be accesed by clicking this link. If you have any queries please contact Lesley Suddes ([email protected]) or Paul Edwards ([email protected]).
