The web sites of the Volunteer Coast Guard Organizations listed in this section, give a window into the lives and activities of groups of dedicated individuals who give their unpaid time and effort to helping other people who are in distress or danger at sea. Typically Coast Guard units will provide safety at sea education as well as carrying out search and rescue operations. Quite often they will put their own lives at risk to help others. Note: Some countries use Coastguard as one word.
