Sector Honolulu

Sector Honolulu is a United States Coast Guard operational command responsible for maritime safety, security, and stewardship in the central Pacific region, primarily surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Established in 2004 as part of a Coast Guard initiative to streamline command structures, the unit consolidated various previous commands under one headquarters located at Sand Island, Honolulu, Hawaii. Sector Honolulu plays a critical role in search and rescue operations, law enforcement, environmental protection, and port security across one of the world's largest and most strategically significant ocean areas. Over the years, the unit has responded to natural disasters, major maritime incidents, and has played a key role in ensuring the safety and security of both commercial and recreational maritime activities in the region.
