Augmenting Capabilities through Enhanced Cooperation & Technology Adoption
The battle against illegal smuggling of drugs, weapons, wildlife, illegal immigration and human trafficking rages on and the importance of a nation’s coast guard in boosting its blue economy cannot be overstated. The rise of illegal fishing threatens the potential maritime prosperity of nations. In this current maritime landscape, the role of the coast guard is actively being re-defined to be more than just civilian and more quasi- military in nature. Governments need to understand the coast guard as a key asset in maintaining maritime security and boosting maritime prosperity.
With newer threats to maritime infrastructure and security emerging (including attacks on underwater cables, the use of drones for nefarious activities). Coast Guards, navies, interagency bodies, border forces, police and maritime security agencies must be aware of the latest technologies being used to counter these threats. With the key challenges of tight budgets, limited human resource, training difficulties, and interagency competition and lack of collaboration, it is more important now than it has ever been these institutions have a forum where the biggest challenges are tackled head on.
Coast Guard Capability 2025 brings together coast guards, navies, interagencies, maritime security companies from across all continents of the globe in collaborative forum, designed to aid in addressing each nation’s coastal needs. At this, coast guard collaboration is at the center- both interagency and international collaboration.
