Waterway Watch Program
Wonder what to do when seeing suspicious activity on or near a waterway, Admiral
Thad Allen explains in this three minute video. Click the link button below.
America’s Waterway Watch (AWW) is a
Counter Terrorism public outreach effort
by the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, and other federal,
state and local agencies tasked with the responsibility of maritime security.
The purpose of America’s Waterway Watch is to use the “eyes and ears” of
waterfront users, such as boaters, marina operators and other waterfront
concessionaires, to detect and report suspicious activity that may be terrorist
related.A
District 11 Northern Region
consists of large number of ports, port support
facilities, and waterfront located industries in the West Coast. The San
Francisco Bay Area not only represents a major Critical Maritime Infrastructure
vitally essential to the U.S. economy, it also presents possibly the highest
visibility on an international scale of being an attractive and vulnerable
terrorist target.
Therefore, Waterway Watch
efforts in the San Francisco Bay Area should be concentrated on potential
Maritime Infrastructure targets. This would include all bridges, all port
and port service facilities in San Francisco and Oakland particularly. Port
facilities and oil refineries in Richmond. And, finally, the Waterway Watch
program would include any industry, any fenced area, any building, or any
waterfront facility, pier, or berth area that has a MARSEC sign displayed.
