The 350 mile long Essex coast is the second longest coastline of any English county. With the River Thames Estuary to the south, the county has other navigable waterways including the rivers Lee and Stort in the west, and the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation to the east.
Marine Watch is offered as a free service to the marine and freshwater communities. It is aimed at boat owners, persons who partake in water-based activities, or services, local members of the public and also visitors to the coast and internal waterways of Essex.
