Ports and Waterways Safety Assessment Final Reports

 The Coast Guard Navigation Center under the program management of Waterways Management (CG-WWM-1) conducts PAWSA assessments nationwide. The primary goal of a PAWSA workshop is to improve coordination and cooperation between government agencies and the private sector. Workshop stakeholders participate in facilitated discussion that utilizes a decision tool developed by the USCG to numerically represent relative risk and identify long-term solutions tailored to local circumstances. Below you can view the reports of all previous PAWSA workshops.
