USCG Station Coos Bay

USCG Station Coos Bay, located in Charleston, Oregon, has served as a critical United States Coast Guard post since its establishment in 1878. Originally founded as a lifesaving station to assist mariners facing the hazardous bar and treacherous waters at the entrance to Coos Bay, the station has grown in capability and significance over the decades. Today, Station Coos Bay conducts a range of missions, including search and rescue, maritime law enforcement, and environmental protection along Oregon’s southern coast. Its crew remains dedicated to ensuring the safety of commercial and recreational mariners in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most challenging maritime regions.
