The Tauranga Coastguard are a team of dedicated volunteers who are on call 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, to go to the assistance of someone at risk on the water.

Our Mission Statement, is Saving Lives at Sea, and it is something we take very seriously.  We are one of the main resources that can be called upon by the Police, or Rescue Co-ordination Centre of New Zealand, to go to the aid of a stricken vessel. 

Our operators work in shifts, and monitor a number of VHF channels. Coastguard also run marine restricted radio operator courses.
