The some 1,700 plus members of the Eighth District Coastal Region, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary are delighted to welcome you to our web site. Our backgrounds, interests and skills bring a wide variety of talents and services to the boating public.

Our District, The “Guardians of the Gulf”, reaches from parts of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico,  Gulf of Mexico and the inland navigable waterways.  The Auxiliary has more than a dozen programs and missions including public education, courtesy vessel safety checks and member training, to mention a few. We perform all duties of the active duty Coast Guard except law enforcement and military operations.

We are always looking for active new members to wear the Coast Guard Blue and share in our quest of proud traditions and worthy missions. Won’t you please join us? Enjoy the rest of our web site.

Semper Paratus! Always ready!
