A coastal guard is required to assist when a vessel is aground when the vessel or the crew are in immediate danger.
If a coastal guard sees that there is imminent danger, then he or she should do anything in their power to help the people on the vessel, and then try to fix the vessel itself. Other things are not as important as this one, so it should be dealt with first.
