This strategy identifies specific goals where efforts can achieve the greatest risk reduction across the breadth of the maritime domain. Its guiding principles are that: solutions shall be risk-based; education and training are the key tools for enhancing security and safety; and economic and national security needs will not be compromised.
The overarching goals of the Small Vessel Security Strategy are to: enhance maritime security and safety based on a coherent framework with a layered, innovative approach; develop and leverage a strong partnership with the small vessel community and public and private sectors in order to enhance maritime domain awareness; leverage technology to enhance the ability to detect, infer intent, and when necessary, interdict small vessels that pose a maritime security threat; and enhance cooperation among international, Federal, state, local, and Tribal partners and the private sector (e.g., marinas, shipyards, small vessel and facility operators), and, in coordination with the Department of State and other relevant federal departments and agencies, international partners.
This strategy lays out the appropriate way forward in managing and controlling risks posed by the potential threat and possibly dire consequences of small vessel exploitation.
