European Coast Guard role explained

The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) issued the infographic below to explain the six core tasks and the five support roles of the European Coast Guard.

Since the recent change to its founding regulation, EMSA says that it will support authorities carrying out coast guard functions at national, European and international level. It will achieve this by continuing to carry out a host of its core, mainstay activities as well as by setting up new and enhanced services in the field of maritime surveillance and capacity building.
