4.16.3 Rescuing Animals from the Water

There may be times when a call for assistance is made to rescue an animal from the water, e.g. on floating debris, adrift vessels, ice floes, weak ice, or caught in a rip tide when swimming.

4.16.3.1 SMC’s shall work with local authorities to render assistance. The marine police, DNR, animal services, etc. may be better equipped and in a better position to rescue the animal.

4.16.3.2 Coast Guard units should only assist when requested by local authorities, on a not to interfere with primary mission basis. This assistance will normally be limited to providing a platform from which the local authorities (animal services) can perform the rescue.
