Searches for a missing person were carried out along the coast earlier this week.
BARB Search & Rescue called its volunteers on Monday night to assist coastguards with the search. They were joined by coastguard teams from Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-super-Mare, while police officers carried out on foot searches of the seafront, beach and nearby area.
It said: "Our volunteers were called out by HM Coastguard at 10.38pm on Monday, May 16 to assist in the search for a missing person.

"The team assembled at our seafront station before assisting Coastguard teams from Burnham and Weston alongside Avon & Somerset Police with foot searches of the seafront, beach and nearby area.
"One of BARB’s hovercraft was launched from Burnham beach to also carry out a torch-lit search of the tide line between the Jetty and Brean Down. After a thorough search, the teams were stood down at midnight when Police called off the search.
"This was another great example of team working between the various agencies. The BARB crew then thoroughly cleaned and refuelled the hovercraft to a ready state, and were able to return to their homes shortly before 2am."
