Coastguard maintains an infastructure right around the coast of New Zealand to ensure that we are there when the public need us.Coastguard Northern Region looks out for the safety of every person in the Northern part of the country who enjoys any of the region’s harbours, gulf, beaches, and coastline. In addition to patrol and Search and Rescue, we provide a variety of information and educational services designed to maximise your safe enjoyment of the water.
Our Region is proudly made up of 25 units that consist of 32 rescue vessels, 2 air patrols and dedicated marine communication networks. These are run and manned by over 1000 brave volunteers from all walks of life who drop everything and risk themselves to save lives at sea.Our vessels range from fast response rigid inflatable boats, to all weather heavy response vessels.
Our people don't ask a cent for the work they do however, they do demand the very best equipment and training that we can give them to do the job. This is where the support of both our members and the public is so important. Our volunteers give their time, skill and commitment so that the organisation can achieve it's goal of 'Saving Lives at Sea'.
