Maritime Domain Awareness: Implications for National, Economic, Border, and Environmental Security

STRI's Andrea Viski was honored to speak on a panel of experts on "Maritime Domain Awareness: Implications for National, Economic, Border, and Environmental Security," on December 16, 2020, sponsored by CRDF Global, where Viski serves as an Affiliated Expert. The event was hosted by Border Security Report. The webinar featured discussion on maritime domain awareness (MDA) — what it is, why it’s important, and barriers to implementation. During the discussion, the panel reviewed key elements of MDA and the legal and regulatory steps governments can take to develop an effective MDA system, and detailed: • Course outlines for promoting MDA within your organization or among your interagency partners

• A legal and regulatory framework for achieving MDA

• A case study and firsthand account of the aftermath of the explosion in Beirut and how similar tragedies can be avoided
