The Marine Safety Mission

The Coast Guard Auxiliary Marine Safety program is designed to facilitate and encourage Auxiliary support for Coast Guard Sectors in the legacy Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Programs. The Auxiliary Marine Safety qualifications mirror those of the Active Duty – minus any law enforcement or military activities.

There are four Divisions in the Prevention Department devoted to the Marine Safety program:

• Commercial Vessel Activities, such as commercial towing vessel inspections

• Port and Facility Activities, such as cargo container inspections

• Prevention Outreach, such as the Sea Partners environmental outreach program 

• Communication and Education, such as the Trident program
