Coast Guard

Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City has bumped up the number of copter flights over coastal South Jersey through May 6th.

The search for three or four boaters, which began late Friday afternoon after a call to Brigantine police, covered 196 miles over 22 hours, according to the Coast Guard.

The U.S. Coast Guard is using a helicopter and at least 2 boats in their search for several boaters that went missing off the coast in South Jersey on Friday afternoon.

The Coast Guard came to the aid of a captain over the weekend after he suffered a leg injury aboard a ship over 350 miles east of Cape May.

Saving lives is what the Coast Guard does. A helicopter crew from the Atlantic City station of the Coast Guard rescued 7 people last week near New York City.

The Coast Guard assisted the crew of a fishing boat taking on water Wednesday 80 miles east of Cape May.

Two fisherman are safe following a Coast Guard rescue in Great Egg Harbor, east of Somers Point.

A fishing vessel that called in a mayday off the New Jersey coastline managed to get to safety in just 45 minutes — but failed to notify the US Coast Guard, setting off a massive all-night search.

The U.S. Coast Guard continued their search all night for a fishing boat that sent a distress call on Sunday.

Crews from the NJ Coast Guard performed several dramatic rescues this past weekend off the coast of South Jersey, pulling two hypothermic fisherman from the frigid waters and saving an overboard boat passenger as well as a cat during another rescue.
