The U.S. Coast Guard Strategy for Maritime Safety, Security, and Stewardship
Abstract
The U.S. Coast Guard Strategy for Maritime Safety, Security, and Stewardship describes how the U.S. Coast Guard will work to safeguard the nation against all threats, hazards, and challenges in the maritime domain, today and in the future. It discusses the Coast Guard's enduring roles, future challenges and threats, and a systems approach for improving maritime governance. From these foundations, the Strategy presents strategic priorities that build on the Coast Guard's strengths and best focus its capabilities to serve the Department of Homeland Security and the nation. This Strategy is shaped by the laws, executive orders, international conventions and agreements, and other guidance that determine U.S. maritime policy (Figure 1). It takes significant shape from the National Strategy for Maritime Security (NSMS), the President's Ocean Action Plan (OAP), National and Homeland Security Presidential Directives (NSPD/HSPD), and the Department of Homeland Security goals and priorities. This Strategy is also the product of the Coast Guard's Evergreen Project, which looks across alternative futures to determine robust strategies that best position the Coast Guard and the nation for a changing world.
