"The Auxiliary is not the best kept secret in the USCG anymore,
it's now a premier Force of the Department of Homeland Security
and the United States Coast Guard."

The two anchors crossed represent cooperation and strength
Silver and Gold stars represent the Auxiliary and Coast Guard members
Two red vertical bars represent the blood shed on the 11th of September, 2001
The eagle, superimposed upon the red bars,
represents our renewed strength and vigilance to
“never tire, never falter, never fail”.

Waterway Watch is the initial and primary Coast Guard Auxiliary program launched as a component of  Operation Patriot Readiness,
and is a major part of the Coast Guard's maritime security initiative.

Waterway Watch promotes public awareness and involvement in Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)
and Maritime Homeland Security (MHLS) activities.

Waterway Watch involves all Auxiliarists, both those performing direct operational missions
and those involved in Recreational Safe Boating operational support activities.
