Marine Safety
Seashore Clean Up - Leesylvania State Park
The Coast Guard Auxiliary Marine Safety program includes Commercial vessel and Port activities and includes Prevention, Outreach and Education. Sometimes it means getting your hands dirty and picking up trash.
Vice Flotilla Commander, Keith Economy and Flotilla Staff Officer for Marine Safety, Guy Campbell enjoy the scenic view of the Potomac River a lot more without the debris.

What is Marine Safety?
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 program develops, in conjunction with Coast Guard Headquarters program managers and TRACEN Yorktown, Auxiliary specific qualifications in these programs. The Auxiliary qualifications mirror those of the Active Duty – minus any law enforcement or military activities.
All Marine Safety programs open to Auxiliarists are based on the needs of the individual Sector. If a Sector has no need of Auxiliary support in a particular program area, it is not available to Auxiliarists in that area.
