Auxiliary Marine Safety
The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary plays a vital role in promoting marine safety through education, outreach, and support for the Coast Guard's prevention missions. As a volunteer organization, the Auxiliary conducts public boating safety courses, performs vessel safety checks, and engages with recreational boaters to encourage safe practices on the water. They also assist in environmental protection efforts, such as monitoring pollution and supporting clean waterways initiatives. By fostering public awareness and contributing to the enforcement of safety regulations, the Coast Guard Auxiliary enhances maritime safety for all waterway users.
