Coastguard Whangaruru was formed when several local men lost their lives and it was decided that a local Coastguard unit was required to conduct search and rescue operations to prevent further tragedies from occurring.
The unit is well respected within its community and is crewed by locals keen to expand or continue their maritime training, volunteering their time to make local search and rescue a possibility.
Meet Us/Training - the unit usually trains every Tuesday evening, but it is best to contact the unit in advance as this may vary throughout the year. Our committee meets every month throughout the year.
