General Lighthouse Authorities

The General Lighthouse Authorities (GLAs) are organizations responsible for ensuring safe navigation along UK and Irish waters. They operate and maintain navigational aids such as lighthouses, buoys, and electronic systems to guide ships safely through busy and often challenging waterways. The GLAs work together to provide accurate, reliable maritime information and navigational support, helping prevent accidents and ensuring efficient maritime trade. They are essential for maritime safety, environmental protection, and supporting the economy by facilitating safe and smooth shipping routes.
