In October 2012 the Coast Guard Office of Port and Facility
Compliance (CG-FAC) began publishing an excellent newsletter, Waves on the Waterfront.
These newsletters can be found at http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg544/Waves%20on%20the%20Waterfront.asp.
They are published on a quarterly basis and each newsletter is full of
information that can be extremely useful to a working FSO. Those of us who were
fortunate enough to have worked with CAPT Andrew Tucci (commanding officer of
CG-FAC ) when he was in Sector Ohio Valley will remember what a premium he
placed on communication.
Waves on the Waterfront is designed to provide port security
stakeholders with useful information on the national and international policies
that guide our activities. CG-FAC uses this publication to highlight success stories,
best practices, and achievements from the field. They welcome contributions,
photos, articles, and ideas. Contact information for the CG-FAC team is
included in each newsletter. I don’t
often say this about government publications, but each of these short,
well-written newsletters is worth reading from beginning to end.
