    • Who we are and what we do... Over the past few years, we have collected, produced and published selected video clips and photo essays of Coastguardsmen in a wide variety of situations sharing aspects of their daliy life. See them, on the job, after hours, afloat, ashore, in the air, on duty, off duty, at work and at play. What's it like to stand a 'Bear Watch' while breaking ice in the Artic, catching the bad guys on a Counter-Narcotics Patrol, sailing on the EAGLE, setting a buoy, or rescuing victims following a disaster? Grab your favorite beverage, sit back and enjoy our vast collection of photo essays & videos. Click here.
