Spotlight on Waterway Watch

Waterway Watch is the initial and primary Coast Guard Auxiliary program launched as a component of  Operation Patriot Readiness,
and is a major part of the Coast Guard's maritime security initiative.

Waterway Watch promotes public awareness and involvement in Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)
and Maritime Homeland Security (MHLS) activities.

Waterway Watch involves all Auxiliarists, both those performing direct operational missions
and those involved in Recreational Safe Boating operational support activities.

The two anchors crossed represent cooperation and strength

Silver and Gold stars represent the Auxiliary and Coast Guard members

Two red vertical bars represent the blood shed on the 11th of September, 2001

The eagle, superimposed upon the red bars,
represents our renewed strength and vigilance to
“never tire, never falter, never fail”.

"The Auxiliary is not the best kept secret in the USCG anymore,
it's now a premier Force of the Department of Homeland Security
and the United States Coast Guard."

REAR ADMIRAL J. M. GARRETT

The National Weather Service has a similar program called SKYWARN, in which ham radio operators and other trained observers spot severe weather and report it to the National Weather Service.

Excellent post!

Timely also. Last night a friend told me a story about earlier this week under a bridge in NY Harbor. His 6(7?)YO asked him why some guy was staring at his watch watching the oil tankers. My buddy took a stroll over and saw that this Middle-eastern man had a stopwatch. He asked him about if the fish were biting(it's a regular local spot), and he said he wasn't fishing. So after doing that and some other discrete recon, he figured the guy was timing the transit under the bridge at a major traffic choke-point.

He went home armed with a description and plate number his son got for him and called the local police. He spoke with one he knew who said he would check it out for him.

Well, he got a call back yesterday saying that they picked those guys(he had a friend in he car) up on various infractions. But what was most interesting, they had a trunk full of surveying equipment with no apparent ties to that business.

He has also spoke to the FBI who wants him to look at some photos and whatnot. I'm being a bit vague because the authorities asked for this to be kept quiet, but I think some general info as to what might constitute 'suspicious activity' would be O.K. to share here.

Your friend did the right thing.
Now if we get "eyes and ears" everywhere we'll all be better off.

Very interesting. As a former Coastie, I see the importance of this program. I am looking to get involved in our local area, they want 8 hours per month. Not easy to do, but we all have to give a little.

Absolutely.

While we fishermen tend to be a tolerant bunch, most would fillet a jihadi on the spot if needed as a suppliment to our forces. If they would just let us around the bridges(some of the best spots) and such again, believe me, the jihadi wouldn't stand a chance. ;-)
