International Capacity Building for Improved Maritime Environmental Response

Over the past decade, the United States Coast Guard’s Office of Marine Environmental Response Policy’s International and Domestic Preparedness Division undertook numerous international environmental protection capacity-building missions with developing nations in the Caribbean and South America. These missions included the development of bilateral coordination plans, the improvement of national contingency plans, and provision of general assistance in oil spill response planning, mitigation, and recovery. By sharing lessons learned and best practices from the Coast Guard's own experiences, the service is ensuring the safe and responsible exploration, production, and transportation of petroleum throughout the waters of the Caribbean and South America.
