By enforcing those laws to make sure commercial, private, and foreign entities treat our natural resources responsibly and renewably. We save the environment through quick responses to environmental disasters like chemical and oil spills. By facilitating the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife in distress and their release back into nature. In the Coast Guard, we believe that we can make a difference through intelligent stewardship of our natural resources so that today and tomorrow can benefit from everything nature has to offer.
