With ever-increasing North American border threats, Canada, Mexico and the United States must counter maritime risks through cooperation. Threats to our national borders are vigorous and extensive. The gamut runs from maritime crimes of drug and weapons trafficking, cross border terrorism, and the impact of inter-species transmission on the environment. With more than 350 ports and 95,000 miles of coastline, the U.S. maritime domain is unique in its scope and diversity. The panel will discuss the perspectives of the three North American partners’ maritime domains and the effects of cooperation on the maritime threats of drugs, terror and on the environment.
