Coast Guard Air Station

A Coast Guard Air Station is a facility operated by the United States Coast Guard that uses helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for various missions, including search and rescue, law enforcement, and environmental protection. These stations are strategically located along coastlines to respond quickly to emergencies at sea and support maritime operations. Aircrews conduct rescues, monitor maritime traffic, and assist in disaster response. Their work helps ensure safety, security, and environmental integrity in coastal and open waters, contributing to overall national maritime safety.
