## Purpose

Coastguard Wellington is one of the 65 units around New Zealand's coastline and major lakes affiliated to the Royal New Zealand Coastguard (CNZ).

Coastguard Wellington assists the Rescue Coordination Centre of New Zealand (RCCNZ) and the New Zealand Police with marine search and rescue incidents, by providing trained volunteers and boats. It also provides non-urgent assistance to the public and Coastguard members.
