On Sunday 23rd April at 08.15 hrs, the Volunteer Crew of the Eastbourne RNLI team was called to action after receiving reports of unidentified objects in the water off Sovereign Harbour that were causing concern. The crew promptly launched their Inshore Lifeboat and headed to the scene to investigate the situation.

Upon reaching the area, the crew identified the objects as fishing marker buoys and confirmed that there was no threat to anyone’s safety. The call-out was put down as a false alarm with good intent, and the crew returned to their station.
