D17 Public Education
Public Education is the
first step of preventative SAR or Search and Rescue. This is one of the main
goals of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and one of the largest benefits available
to the public in the form of boater education. We provide many different
classes tailored for different subjects throughout the year and in different
locations throughout Alaska.
Classes offered include the BS&S or Boating Skills & Seamanship, a comprehensive learning
experience about safe boating in a multiple lesson type setting, Other classes that are offered are of the one day
seminar type - classes like Know your GPS or the popular About Boating Safely. All are taught by Auxiliary
instructors with years of experience on Alaskan waters. Take
advantage of a safe boating class near you and absorb the knowledge
available to you to make you a safer boater!
