National Maritime Security Advisory Council
This article describes the organization, activities and accomplishments of the National Maritime Security Advisory Committee (NMSAC). NMSAC is the newest advisory group for the U.S. Coast Guard and was chartered to advise, consult with and make recommendations on matters affecting maritime security. Members were chosen based on their affiliation to a specific sector within the maritime industry or a recognized maritime association in order to represent the interests of a wide segment of the maritime population. Each member is required to have at least 5 years of experience in maritime security operations. NMSAC met for the first time in March 2005 and established workgroups in the areas of communications, consistency, asymmetric migration, single window (data) reporting, and transportation worker identity cards. NMSAC is expected to play an important role in providing private sector perspectives and advice to the government during the implementation of security plans and strategies.
