Any Existing Projects for Coastguard and Merchant Navy Profiles?

Question

I'm starting work on my husbands English family and one line in particular contains a number of Coastguard personnel and later Merchant Navy too.  I see that Merchant Navy is a sub-category of Great Britain, is that part of the United Kingdom Project?  And is there any such category for Coastguard families?

Answer 1

See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:HM_Coastguard_Stations

Answer 2

I see this never got an answer. I, too, have a coastguard.

It seems to me that we need a category of Her Majesty's Coastguard. That would be in UK.

It isn't a military service, nor is it law enforcement or merchant navy, so it need a separate category.

There is a newly created sticker:

{{Occupation|image=Images4G2G-37.png|text=served in HM Coastguard (Britain) from before 186 to before 1881.}}

But the PTB have not as far as  I am aware added it to the relevant page, nor moved the image to somewhere more accessible.

See here for English coastguards:  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:English_Coastguards and Welsh coastguards, but no Scots.
