Coast Guard Sector

A Coast Guard Sector is a regional division of the Coast Guard that manages maritime safety, security, and environmental protection within its designated area. Each sector is responsible for coordinating search and rescue operations, enforcing maritime laws, overseeing port safety, and responding to environmental incidents like oil spills. The sectors work closely with local, state, and federal agencies to ensure the effective stewardship of coastal resources and the safety of maritime activities. Essentially, they play a crucial role in maintaining safe and secure waters for both commercial and recreational activities.
