Overview

Coast Guard, Coastguard, Coasties, Puddle Pirates, Maritime Police...there are scores of official and unofficial names and descriptions for groups providing Coast Guard services. However, they all operate with some fairly common goals and missions. Among the most important of their roles is to provide what is known as SAR or search and rescue. And it is significant to note that in a marine environment, SAR can mean operating in some of the worst conditions and settings imaginable. This sort of pattern repeats itself in any and all Coast Guard services. However, there can also be a military, customs, security, and educational element to any Coast Guard service. Thus, the services implied by the title ""coast guard"" go far beyond those provided along coastal areas alone. So, come with me on this world tour of Coast Guard services. You will be astonished at the great differences, and also the many similarities, among the various agencies around the globe.
