A major multi-agency rescue swung into action this afternoon after a person was injured jumping into the sea.
It's understood the Ballycastle and Coleraine Coastguard Rescue Teams worked alongside a number of emergency services throughout the incident in Dunseverick in Co Antrim.
The injured person, believed to be a female, has been airlifted to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
The Coleraine Coastguard said: "Coleraine and Ballycastle CRTs were tasked to a person injured after jumping into the sea as part of a coasteering group.
"Portrush Inshore Lifeboat transported coastguard rescue officers with specialist water rescue equipment and an NIAS paramedic to the casualty location.
"Due to the serious nature of the injuries, the decision was made to evacuate the casualty by CG helicopter R199 from Prestwick.
"The casualty was then transferred to HEMS helicopter and taken to Royal Hospital in Belfast.
"The PSNI did a great job holding back the large volume of traffic on the coast road. Great teamwork from all the agencies."
