Welcome to the Division 2, District 1NR Web Site

Division 2 of District 1NR (Southern Maine) is located in U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern New England and is made up of four Flotillas with a total area of responsibility (AOR) spanning from the New Castle, NH to Boothbay Harbor, Maine including all navigable rivers and recreational waterways including Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Sebago.

We serve our communities as the volunteer arm of the United States Coast. Some of the missions that we undertake are Recreational Boating Checks and Education. We also do public Boater Education including education about local, state, and federal legal requirements.

We draw members from all over Maine and New Hampshire, and from all walks of life. We are ordinary people; your neighbors, co-workers, retired military, boat owners, and citizens who want to contribute to boating safety and homeland security. A cornerstone of the Auxiliary is the fellowship with others who share an interest in our missions supporting the Coast Guard and boating safety.
