Editing Coast guard (section)

===United Kingdom===
{{Main|His Majesty's Coastguard}}

In the [[United Kingdom]], [[His Majesty's Coastguard]] fulfill six of the nine functions required by the IMO; Search and Rescue, Pollution Response, Vessel Traffic Management, Maritime Safety, Accident and Disaster Response, and Maritime Security. The other three IMO functions; Customs/Border Control, Fisheries Control and Law Enforcement, are undertaken by the [[UK Border Force]], [[Environment Agency]] and [[Territorial police force|local police forces]], respectively. The maintenance of [[seamark]]s is the responsibility of [[Trinity House]] (in England and Wales), the [[Northern Lighthouse Board]] (in Scotland) and the [[Commissioners of Irish Lights]] (in Northern Ireland). HM Coastguard is a civilian agency - as the duties traditionally associated with a military coast guard service are spread around the [[Civil Service (United Kingdom)|Civil Service]] and [[British Armed Forces]], unlike other coast guard services around the world. It is a Category 1 emergency responder alongside the United Kingdom's regional police, fire, and ambulance services.

Lifeboat services are provided by the [[Royal National Lifeboat Institution]], or other independent lifeboat stations not affiliated with the RNLI, all under the coordination of the Coastguard. HM Coastguard [[wet lease]]s commercial helicopters — [[Sikorsky S-92]]s and [[AgustaWestland AW189]]s — to provide aerial search and rescue cover around Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as the [[United Kingdom's emergency towing vessel fleet]] in areas not served by tug brokers. On the coastline, HM Coastguard maintains a network of cliff and mud rescue teams, comprising around 4,000 volunteers, and can call upon the [[National Coastwatch Institution]] which mans many former Coastguard lookout stations around the coast. It is part of the [[Maritime and Coastguard Agency]], which in itself is an [[executive agency]] of the [[Department for Transport]].
