Our primary mission is to promote safe recreational boating, and in this mission we also are asked to assist the regular Coast Guard and state boating authorities from time to time. Now that we have joined the Department of Homeland Security, we also are being asked to assist in Harbor Patrols for Port Security, Marine Environmental Patrols and more...
