What is the general purpose of these AUX stations? To provide marine
coverage in those areas where the CG doesn't have a station, backup or
what? I agree that this would be a nice thing to volunteer for to
help to create for more relevance for us ham ops before we all just get
grey and bald and disappear.

But of course if you have some non-type accepted equipment such as 2
meter handies modified to work on marine vhf you may be inviting help
that you don't really want.

It would be good to make it official so that they know that you're just
not another ambulance chaser.
