The Coast Guard on Geb is a form of federal armed force, specializing in scientific exploration, protection against natural wildlife, and search and rescue operations both above and below water. While a handful of minor dis-incorporated villages have their own form of “Coast Guard”, when you're out on or in the open water, in an emergency situation, it doesn't matter who you are, you work together. This remains true for the Island of Geb, and even the most distrustful 'wild ones ', of the dis-incorporated Wildlands, maintain a positive working relationship with the Federal Coast Guard. It doesn't hurt that many retirees from the Federal Coast Guard tend to move to the beach, live in the dis-incorporated territory, and train recruits; thus strengthening what may otherwise be weakened bonds. Nobody wants a dangerous co-worker, especially not in the ocean, and everyone needs to know how to work together. As a result, regardless of the entity, everyone in any coast guard, learns the methods used by the Coast Guard of the Five States. Variance comes in with attempts to improve efficiency, and those variances which are successful tend to be adopted quickly throughout the profession.
