Division 1 - where the Coastal Region of the Eighth Coast Guard District begins! Stretching from St Mark's, FL westward to Pensacola and encompassing the southern parts of Alabama and Georgia just above the state line, Division 1 is home to seven diverse Flotillas and over 225 volunteers.

As part of Coast Guard Sector Mobile, the Division supports the small boat stations in Pensacola, Destin, and Panama City, and the Aids to Navigation Team and Marine Safety Detachment, both also located in Panama City. Our activities focus on recreational boating safety in many different forms - on the water, in the classroom, on boat ramps and at boat shows. We are dedicated to improving the skills and qualifications of the boating public in the Florida Panhandle.

The Auxiliary also serves as a "force multiplier" to the US Coast Guard, the primary agency of the Department of Homeland Security. During this era of terroristic threats, economic crisis, and funding shortages, our members provide the resources to free up time, and often assist, the Coast Guard personnel in the completion of vital missions in Marine Safety, Port Security, Search and Rescue, and Navigational Aid support and repair.

If you're interested in improving your boating knowledge and skills, or providing a valuable service to your community, the Auxiliary may be the place for you. Contact any of our Flotilla's and they'll help you get started.

Division 1 has a highly motivated and committed group of volunteer members and I'm proud to serve them. Thanks you for visiting our web site, and let us know if we can provide you with additional information on all we do.
