Domain 02 · Border & Coastal Security

Coastal & Maritime Security

Maritime domain awareness and security for coastlines, ports and vessels.

Overview

What this domain means

Coastal and maritime security protects coastlines, ports, harbours and the activity at sea around them. It rests on maritime domain awareness — knowing what is moving, where, and whether it presents a risk — and on the port and command systems that act on that knowledge.

Security challenges

What organizations are up against

  • Building a reliable picture of vessel activity across large sea areas.
  • Securing ports and harbours that combine public, commercial and restricted zones.
  • Detecting smuggling, illegal entry and other illicit maritime activity.
  • Coordinating navies, coast guards, port authorities and customs.
