9: Maritime Stewardship
Maintain an efficient, resilient MTS in order to facilitate maritime mobility and protect the nation’s economy and protect
the marine environment against threats from pollution, environmental degradation, the spread of invasive species, and the
illegal harvesting of marine resources.
Other Information:
The nation’s prosperity relies on the balanced and sustainable use of inland, coastal, and ocean waters and resources. The
foundation for this prosperity—an efficient, resilient MTS—must be maintained in order to facilitate maritime mobility and
protect the nation’s economy. At the same time, the marine environment must be protected against threats from pollution, environmental
degradation, the spread of invasive species, and the illegal harvesting of marine resources.
