## Resource

North Berwick lifeboat volunteers raced to rescue stranded beachgoers after three separate tide-related incidents in East Lothian — from fishing adults at Leckenbane to kids at the Leithies, and three people at Seacliff Beach. These dramatic rescues reveal a worrying public ignorance: a Bangor University survey found 40% of people don’t understand tides, and just 25% can read tide charts. Over the past decade, UK and Irish RNLI crews have handled nearly 8,000 such strandings, saving over 450 lives. The key takeaway? Always check tide times before heading to the coast — and if you’re cut off, call 999 for the Coastguard, not your own bravery.
