Local nicknames including ‘Crazy Mary’s Hole’ and ‘Stinky Bay’ have been added to an Ordnance Survey map of the coast to help locate stricken fishermen.
It is hoped that the change will improve communication between members of the public and marine rescue teams in emergency situations, helping responders to attend to callouts faster and identify the precise locations of incidents.
