organisation profile
- The Storm Tide Forecasting Service (STFS) is operated by the Meteorological Office on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. STFS monitors tidal levels around the coasts of Britain. Established in 1953 to provide warning of coastal flooding, the service expanded in September 1973 to also warn of negative surges in the Southern North Sea that might present a navigation hazard. Further expansion to cover coastal flooding on the West Coast took place in 1978 followed by arrangements to cover the South Coast in 1983.
