SURFACE OPERATIONS - Flotilla Members perform safety and aids-to-navigation patrols in the Monterey Bay area, and on occasion in other areas. Auxiliary vessels and their crews work under the control of the Coast Guard, and aid in search and rescue (SAR), marine safety, and other missions. Auxiliary crew members and Coxswains qualify using the same boat crew training manual as used by Coast Guard Regulars and Reservists, and must satisfy annual currency maintenance. Auxiliarists are volunteers.
BOATING SAFETY - Auxiliarists from 06-07 teach classes to members of the general public and to members of the Auxiliary in Santa Cruz. Public classes include boating skills and seamanship (basic power), sailing fundamentals (basic sail), and basic and advanced coastal navigation. Auxiliarists also provide voluntary vessel safety checks and conduct other programs to enhance boating safety.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - Auxiliarists from 06-07 and other flotillas join Coast Guard active duty and reservists to aid NOAA and NMFS in managing the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Auxiliarists are deployed on Coast Guard Auxiliary surface and air missions.
COAST GUARD MISSION SUPPORT - Auxiliarists also volunteer to serve alongside regular and reserve members of the Coast Guard in operational and administrative programs. Flotilla members serve as radio watchstanders, and have served onboard Monterey and Santa Cruz based US Coast Guard vessels.
