WetWork has mentioned being involved with the surf boats in Oregon. These are the crews that face the surf closing river bars along the coast there in the PNW.

These personnel are right up there with rescue swimmers as some of the bravest most heroic positions in the service. Often exposing themselves to extreme danger in the exicution of their duties.

I'll let him fill in the details. Just want to say that there are functions of the Coast Guard that warrant the highest regard and appreciative respect of Mariners everywhere.
