Who is the E-Team?

It’s you, the members of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary…every instructor, every Public Education Staff Officer at all levels, those of us who work for you at the National Staff level and EVERY MEMBER of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary that ever talks to anyone about the superior Recreational Boating Safety Education that we, as a TEAM offer to the American public.

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary is the most dominant single organization offering Recreational Boating Safety education, hands down! Through our combined efforts, we educate over 150,000 people every year in an effort for them share the waters in a safe manner. If you add to that total the “mini-course” taught during Vessel Safety Checks, we actually reach out to over one-quarter million of our fellow boaters annually.

Whether it’s something as basic as America’s Boating Course or as advanced as teaching navigation, we are an effective instrument of preventive SAR. If American boaters are safer, there will be fewer burdens on the US Coast Guard and others to look for and rescue boaters in distress.

Our focus in the months ahead
In the months ahead, we will be describing the 2007-and-beyond directions for the Education Department: Be sure to check back as we set our future course.
