  Coast guard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Among the responsibilities that may be entrusted to a coast guard service are enforcement of maritime law, maintenance of seamarks, border control, and other services.
In Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard is a civilian service under the Department of Fisheries and Oceans responsible for patroling the world's longest coastline of 243,042 km.
In wartime the Coast Guard may at the direction of the president report to the Secretary of the Navy but does not become part of the United States Navy; however, its boats and cutters are integrated into U.S. military operations.
