Another interesting one, thanks Paul!

& definitely not a nice place to go boating or kayaking!

Had me wondering just what they'd be classified as, but when I checked
their Wiki page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_Majesty%27s_Coastguard, it says
" responsible, ... for the initiation and co-ordination of all maritime search
and rescue <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_and_rescue> (SAR) within
the UK <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom> Maritime Search and
Rescue Region. This includes the mobilisation, organisation and tasking of
adequate resources to respond to persons either in distress at sea, or to
persons at risk of injury or death on the cliffs or shoreline of the United
Kingdom. It is also responsible for land based search and rescue helicopter
operations"
so I'd be happy for them to still go under emergency=marine_rescue

Thanks

Graeme
