MARITIME DOMAIN
AWARENESS & AWW
America's Waterway
Watch promotes public awareness and involvement in Maritime
Domain Awareness (MDA) and Maritime Homeland Security (MHLS)
activities
Maritime Domain
Awareness (MDA), is "The effective understanding of anything in the
marine environment that could adversely affect America's security,
safety, economy, or environment,." and is more fully described
by the Coast Guard's Commandant in
ALCOAST 160/04.
(Hyperlink to follow. . .)
Maritime Domain
Awareness is the Coast Guard's overarching maritime security
program, and is guided by the recently established Maritime
Domain Awareness Directorate. The Directorate coordinates its
activities with other DHS agencies and with key outside agencies
such as the Department of Defense and the Navy, so there is an
effective, cohesive and seamless MDA system for the nation.
Maritime Domain
Awareness is also supported by America's Waterway Watch, as
well as other Coast Guard programs, operations and initiatives.
