Coast Guard Auxiliary

The Coast Guard Auxiliary is a volunteer organization that supports the United States Coast Guard in its missions. Members assist with a variety of activities, including search and rescue operations, boating safety education, and recreational vessel inspections. They also help with community outreach and environmental protection efforts. While they don’t have law enforcement authority, their contributions enhance maritime safety and promote public awareness. The Auxiliary provides opportunities for individuals to serve their communities, gain skills, and participate in maritime activities, all while supporting the Coast Guard's overall mission of ensuring safe and secure waterways.
