The U.S. Coast Guard is the principal federal agency charged with maritime Safety, Security and Stewardship. As such, the Coast Guard protects vital interests of the U.S. - the personal safety and security of our population, our natural and economic resources, and the territorial integrity of our maritime borders from internal and external threats, natural and man made. The Coast Guard protects these interests in U.S. ports and inland waterways, along the coasts, on international waters or in any other maritime region where U.S. interests may be at risk. The Coast Guard generates public value through its roles and missions that ensure maritime Safety, Security and Stewardship. These roles and missions are enduring, long standing responsibilities, accrued to the Coast Guard over two centuries of service because they are inherently governmental, serve the collective good, and can be accomplished most effectively by a single federal maritime force. The Coast Guards multi-mission character is defined by its ability to conduct distinct yet complementary functions in the maritime domainlaw enforcement, national defense, maritime mobility, maritime safety, environmental protection, and humanitarian response. This unique character positions the Coast Guard to meet a broad range of national interests within the maritime domain. The Coast Guard secures the nations vast maritime border while ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of people and goods. It protects the marine environment and guards natural resources. It defends our nation at home and abroad alongside the other Armed Services. And it saves the lives of those in distress, both at sea and ashore.
