Going by TATW lore (as I always do). ..

The main scouting force of Dol Amroth are the Nimrodel Rangers. During the First Age the Elven havens of Brithombar and Eglarest fell to the forces of Morgoth, many Elves fled the destruction and it is said that three ships sailed far to the south to the Bay of Belfalas to establish the haven of Edhellond. For long ages Edhellond was an Elven settlement, yet over time, the population of the haven diminished as many Elves chose to depart across the sea. When the Men of Númenor began settling the coast of Belfalas, some intermingled with the Elves of Edhellond. These Half-Elves remained behind when the last Elven ship left carrying the Elven king Amroth. The Lay of King Amroth and the Lady Nimrodel is a sad tale, which ended with King Amroth diving into the sea and swimming for the shore to search for his lost love Nimrodel. The King drowned and no one knows what became of the lost lady. Yet those of Elven blood in Edhellond honour the memory of the fair Elf maiden. The Nimrodel Rangers are named in her honour and they keep a symbolic lookout for her coming. The Rangers have inherited the skills of their Elven forefathers and possess keen sight and unerring accuracy with their bows. They operate in and around the heartlands of Dol Amroth and are rarely seen elsewhere. They wear sea blue cloaks over leather jerkins that display the White Swan of Dol Amroth. They are ready to answer the call to arms if the Prince of Dol Amroth has need of their skills.
