The programme to modernise Her Majesty's Coastguard focuses on the coordination of civilian maritime search and rescue. The Coastguard Rescue Teams, like, the RNLI, independent lifeboats, beach lifeguards, rescue helicopters and other rescue facilities are not affected by these changes. It should be noted that the Coastguard Rescue Service is a network of volunteer teams around the UK coast that is part of Her Majesty's Coastguard and not a service delivered or managed by local authorities.
