The U. S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is an organization of civilian volunteers—part of the U. S. Coast Guard team—who help promote safety among recreational boaters. We offer boating safety classes, vessel safety checks, on-water boater-assistance patrols and marine environmental protection programs. We also help maintain buoys, daybeacons and other aids to navigation. And we help U.S. Coast Guard and state officials carry out a wide array of other missions.
