Local Coast Guard Flotillas

Local Coast Guard flotillas are community-based groups of Coast Guard Auxiliary members who support maritime safety, security, and environmental protection in their region. They collaborate with active-duty Coast Guard units to conduct vessel safety inspections, search and rescue operations, and public education. These volunteer groups enhance maritime safety efforts through local knowledge and community engagement, helping to ensure safe, lawful, and environmentally responsible use of waterways. Flotillas operate under the broader Coast Guard mission, serving as a vital link between the Coast Guard and local mariners, boating clubs, and waterfront communities.
