Along the coastline of Britain volunteers keep a look out. They are members of the National Coastwatch Institution and are there to help keep the coastline safe.
In Essex, there are two stations based in the Thames Esturary at Thorpe Bay and on Canvey Island.
Owen visited the station on Canvey to find out more about from station manager Grahame Harris.
More information about the National Coastwatch Institition can be found on their website - www.nci.org.uk
