​

Coastguard Wanganui was formed in 1978 when the Marine Search and Rescue Group which had been created in 1964 became Wanganui Volunteer Coastguard Inc.  The group had been established as a result of a number of incidents off the Wanganui coast which identified the need for a managed response to marine search and rescue at Wanganui. 

Over the years the Unit has grown from a small number of enthusiastic volunteers and a very small vessel to a strong viable Unit with a great team with a large new base built with volunteers & over 500,000 sponsorship exclusively from the Whanganui region.
