Who We Are
The Coast Guard’s philosophy is to be SEMPER PARATUS (ALWAYS READY)
against all threats and all hazards. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is an
integral part of that philosophy and the Coast Guard Forces. We conduct
safety patrols on local waterways, assist the Coast Guard with homeland
security duties, teach boating safety classes, conduct free vessel
safety checks for the public, as well as many other activities. The
Auxiliary has members in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa and Guam.
Our Vision
As a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,U.S. Coast
Guard, and a servant of the public, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, in
its role as the designated National Recreational Boating Safety
Coordinator, is a leader in improving the boating experience of the
maritime public. We are an organization noted for working in partnership
with all stakeholders within the waterways activity spectrum and across
all modes of transportation to reach consensus solutions. We measure our
success by our customer satisfaction, and our customers' needs help
define our workload and priorities.
Our Mission
To minimize the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and
environmental impact associated with the use of recreational boats,
through preventive means, in order to maximize safe use and enjoyment of
U.S. Waterways by the public.
