Waterfront Citizens Supporting Coast Guard Missions
Become a 'Northwest Watch' volunteer and help the U.S. Coast Guard save lives and property, prevent oil spills, and protect wildlife, all from the comfort of your home.

This vital program enlists the assistance of residents who live near navigable waterways to assist the Coast Guard with their missions.

The Coast Guard will call on Northwest Watch members to help investigate cases such as flare sightings or mayday calls in their area, which puts volunteers right in the heart of the action. The only requirements to participating are having access to a phone and a marine view from their home.
The Northwest has an extensive amount of waterways and communities to protect, and the U.S. Coast Guard needs dependable and proactive volunteers to aid in keeping out waters safe and clean.

One of D13 Information Division's Primary goals is to provide maximum service to our taxpayers, government leaders, and Coast Guard field commands.

Effectively, we manage a robust and well-informed network of civilian volunteers living on or near all of the Thirteenth District's waters. When needed, any Coast Guard unit with access to the Search and Rescue program (C2PC) can identify a geographic-specific volunteer and call upon them."
