The Royal New Zealand Coastguard is the civilian volunteer coastguard of New Zealand, the primary search and rescue organisation for the nation's coastal waterways and major lakes. The New Zealand Police coordinate smaller search and rescue incidents (Category I) in New Zealand, with assistance and resources from Coastguard as required; major maritime incidents (Category II) are coordinated by the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ), who may call on the resources of the New Zealand Defence Force. Government agencies including the New Zealand Police and the New Zealand Customs Service manage maritime law enforcement and border control, with the Coastguard not having a role, unlike in a number of other countries. Sea rescue services have existed in New Zealand since at least 1861, but it was not until 1976 that various local groups formed the national New Zealand Coastguard Federation. It was granted Royal Patronage in 1990, and dropped "Federation" from the title in 2005. ==Funding== The Royal New Zealand Coastguard is a charitable organisation, relying on membership fees, fundraising, donations, and grants from the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board, to cover expenses of $8.5 million a year. The service announced a per hour charge out rate to non-members in 2006, and made calls for government funding in 2007. The (The Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Act 2008 ) was passed into law in August 2008, requiring Auckland councils to provide funding for amenities in the city, including Coastguard Northern Region. As of 2014 the annual membership fee is $115,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coastguard Northern Region Membership: options and fees )〕 while the hourly assistance rate for non-members is $280.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author= )〕 the founder of the New Zealand wad John Percival Eastmure The charity often faces issues with non-members who refuse to pay the charges after being rescued, sometimes for several call-outs in a row. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal New Zealand Coastguard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
