Our Mission
The overarching mission of the U.S.
Coast Guard Auxiliary is to contribute to the safety and security of our
citizens, ports, waterways and coastal regions. We will balance our
missions of Recreational Boating Safety and Coast Guard Support with
Maritime Homeland Security and other challenges that emerge as a result
of our growing understanding of changes required in the post-9/11 era.
Our
members are dedicated
to Boating Safety and Homeland Security. We conduct boating safety
classes, perform courtesy vessel safety checks, visit marine dealers,
and perform both safety and surveillance patrols. Additionally our
members assist in active duty US Coast Guard missions, are active in
Environmental Safety, Communications, and perform other missions as
directed by the Commandant of the Coast Guard. |

You're In Command!
The Coast Guard's You're In Command campaign urges all boaters to
take a boating course, get a free Vessel Safety Check, don't drink and
boat, and lastly and certainly not least - Boat Smart from the Start,
and always wear your PFD. Remember you're in command - so boat
responsibly!
