Welcome to the Ninth Coast Guard District
Cleveland, Ohio
The motto of the Ninth District is “Guardians of the Great
Lakes” and we take our duty seriously. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, we’re
responsible for all Coast Guard operations throughout the five Great Lakes, the
Saint Lawrence Seaway and parts of the surrounding
states including 6,700 miles of shoreline and 1,500 miles of the international
border with Canada.
The more than 5,500 active duty, reserve, civilian and auxiliary men and women
who make up the Ninth District deliver multi-mission services in search and
rescue, maritime safety and security, environmental protection, maritime law
enforcement, aids to navigation and
icebreaking.
