Online Magazines
e-News
  The Coast Guard Auxiliary e-News is designed to keep you informed of information, issues and programs that affect the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

SITREP The theme (philosophy) of SITREP is that it features articles about Auxiliarists rather than the Auxiliary itself.

Navigator Online is the official magazine of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary www.cgaux.org.

Operation Life Ring Auxiliarists helping Auxiliarists in a time of need.

Reservist The Coast Guard Reservist is published by the Commandant, Director of Reserve & Training, U.S. Coast Guard.

Knowledge Base  To inform Auxiliarists of some of the most frequently asked questions, especially those which are not necessarily or easily found in Auxiliary manuals or Coast Guard instructions, the Office of Auxiliary has created the Auxiliary Knowledge Base. 

Boat U S for boating safety and clean water.

America's Waterway Watch
Have you seen any of the following activities when you are on the water?

  • People appearing to be engaged in surveillance of any kind (note taking, shooting video/photos, making sketches, or asking questions).
  • Unattended vessels or vehicles in unusual locations.
  • Lights flashing between boats.
  • Unusual diving activity.
  • Unusual number of people onboard.
  • Unusual night operations.
  • Recovering or tossing items into/onto the waterway or shoreline.
  • Operating in or passing through an area that does not typically have such activity.
If so, call 1-877-24WATCH or 1-877-2492.  And, of course, you can always dial 911.  For more in-depth information on America's Waterway Watch, click here.

"Eyes on the Water" is a maritime domain awareness campaign intended to encourage you to report suspicious activity, not to take direct action.  more..

The Eagle.  The U.S. Coast Guard Barque EAGLE, a 295',  1800 ton, steel hull, three masted sailing vessel, is the only active tall ship in U. S. governmentUSS Eagle service. It has been training future U.S. Coast Guard officers for over half a century, and despite being 19th century technology, EAGLE continues to produce leaders of character for the nation's smallest armed service.  more..   

Dial-A-Buoy The National Weather Service  created Dial-A-Buoy to give mariners an easy way to obtain the reports via a cell phone. Dial-A-Buoy provides wind and wave measurements taken within the last hour at NDBC buoy and Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations. 
To access Dial-A-Buoy, dial 888-701-8992 using any touch tone or cell phone. You may need to let the phone ring 7 or 8 times. When answered, enter 1. Then, enter the five-digit (or character) station identifier, followed by the # sign, in response to the prompt. Local station identifiers are available from NOAA at http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Maps/Northeast.shtml.

For Kids (and Teachers) - For you and your kids from the US Coast Guard.  Teachers guides and coloring books.   Photos of Coast Guard Ships to download.

Life Jackets
Boat smart from the start and wear it! There are many new types of life jackets, designed for all types of boats and boaters.  For everyday boating wear, you just can’t beat the new, inflatable life jackets. They’re cool, comfortable, light weight, don’t restrict movement and have the same buoyancy support as the bulky “gold-standard”, Type I offshore vests. Triggered by either a manual pull-cord or an automatic sensor, a gas cartridge quickly inflates the vest while in the water. They are made by several manufacturers and are available in adult and children’s sizes.
