Making the Sea Safer: A National Agenda for Maritime Security and Counterterrorism

Abstract

Protecting maritime commerce from attack or exploitation by terrorists is critical to the future security of the United States. To address this challenge, the Heritage Foundation conducted a year-long project examining the foreign policy, economic, and defense implications of this issue. Our research suggests five critical proposals that must be on the agenda of the Bush Administration and Congress. These initiatives are essential to creating the kind of maritime security the nation will need in the decades ahead.
