Division 16 has been located on the Jersey Shore since 1958 and performs services such as conducting Safe Boating Classes, Vessel Safety Examinations, Maritime Observation Missions (formerly known as Safety Patrols) and Marine Dealer Visits. The Division also enjoys the fellowship of its members.
Auxiliarist's undergo advanced training that is received via the Auxiliary Member Training Department, so they are able to assist and augment the Coast Guard, by participating in non-military, non-law enforcement programs.
Division 16 is comprised of volunteers dedicated to safer recreational boating and consists of six Flotillas: Flotilla 16-01, Gull Island; Flotilla 16-05, Brick & Toms River; Flotilla 16-07, Manasquan Inlet; Flotilla 16-08, Shark River; and Flotilla 16-10, Metedeconk River.
We are always looking for interested individuals to join us. You could find yourself saving lives, protecting the environment from polluters, guarding our shores from terrorists, training the boating public to boat safer and much more. That’s our job – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That's life in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. We don't just train. We train and perform.
We meet the 1st Tuesday of each month at Station Manasquan Inlet, you are welcome to join us. Contact our Leadership to make arrangements to attend the meeting.
