What it does

The Canadian Coast Guard’s Maritime Security Program supports Canada’s national security efforts through proactive leadership to initiate, manage and maintain interdepartmental and interagency relationships in support of security operations. Coast Guard involvement in maritime security is derived from its obligation under the National Security Policy, which established the Maritime Security Operations’ Centres, as well as the Oceans Act to provide ships, aircraft and other maritime services in support of federal maritime security departments including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Forces, the Canada Border Services Agency, Public Safety Canada, and Transport Canada. The Maritime Security Program is responsible for executing Coast Guard’s national maritime security program, which includes leveraging Coast Guard capabilities and expertise to: support the collection, analysis and dissemination of maritime information and intelligence (specifically in the Maritime Security Operation Centres); conducting security contingency planning for major events; and providing maritime safety and security capacity building to developing nations, in support of international peace and security.
