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.
