GPS enabled life jackets have been rolled out to the local fishing community after a motion calling upon them to be funded by Cornwall Council was successful.
Looe Cornwall Councillor Armand Toms and Mevagissey Cornwall Councillor James Mustoe put the motion together following the success of a similar scheme in Plymouth.
The total cost of the scheme was £96,000 and has also been joint funded by Seafarers UK and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. The cost of each lifejacket was £360 however those who are eligible only had to pay £30.
