The Boating Department Wiki (AuxBWiki) is a forum for sharing your ideas for promoting the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary's Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) mission. As such, we need your help. If you have had a successful experience promoting RBS cooperation between the Auxiliary and an outside group, we need to hear about it. If you have an idea that you would like to see tried, we want to hear about it. This website is for you to share your ideas on recreational boating safety so others might live. The following provides information about adding to the AuxBWiki. Email us with questions. Please remember that "B" Department staff will be reviewing content to ensure that it is appropriate for Coast Guard Auxiliary communication, as well as to make the information as useful as possible for the greatest number of people. |
Editorial practice
It is important to remember that the AuxBWiki is intended to be a source for recreational boating safety (RBS) partnership information. As such the information should presented in a way that will help others successfully reproduce best practices. Language should be simple and direct, using correct spelling and grammar. Email us with questions, or to have us put your partnership idea online for you.
