00:01.340 --> 00:04.179
America is a maritime nation whose

00:04.179 --> 00:06.235
economic lifeblood flows through its

00:06.235 --> 00:09.060
25,000 miles of navigable channels and

00:09.060 --> 00:11.689
hundreds of ports . This marine

00:11.689 --> 00:13.899
transportation system supports tens of

00:13.899 --> 00:15.859
millions of jobs and generates

00:15.859 --> 00:17.692
trillions of dollars in economic

00:17.692 --> 00:20.290
activity . A safe and efficient marine

00:20.290 --> 00:22.739
transportation system is vital to our

00:22.739 --> 00:25.049
country's prosperity and national

00:25.049 --> 00:27.579
security . The Coast Guard safeguards

00:27.579 --> 00:29.979
this complex and interconnected system .

00:30.309 --> 00:32.365
And it protects maritime commerce on

00:32.365 --> 00:33.365
our waterways .

00:36.380 --> 00:38.819
With the advent of novel waterway uses

00:38.819 --> 00:41.020
such as autonomous vessel operations

00:41.020 --> 00:43.131
and space vehicle launch and recovery

00:43.131 --> 00:45.299
activities , this poses a triple

00:45.299 --> 00:48.020
challenge to waterway managers to meet

00:48.020 --> 00:50.220
demands for increased capacity , to

00:50.220 --> 00:52.220
keep pace with the rapidly evolving

00:52.220 --> 00:54.500
maritime uses and technologies , and to

00:54.500 --> 00:56.299
do so in a sustainable and

00:56.299 --> 00:58.243
environmentally sensitive manner .

01:00.240 --> 01:02.351
To address this challenge , the Coast

01:02.351 --> 01:04.462
Guard is using data and technology to

01:04.462 --> 01:06.680
innovate decision making and enhance

01:06.680 --> 01:09.440
marine geospatial planning . The Coast

01:09.440 --> 01:11.662
Guard Navigation Center plays a leading

01:11.662 --> 01:13.849
role in this effort . The navigation

01:13.849 --> 01:17.209
Center , or NAVEN employs scientists ,

01:17.330 --> 01:20.089
engineers , IT specialists and other

01:20.089 --> 01:22.410
subject matter experts who develop

01:22.410 --> 01:24.354
products and deliver services that

01:24.354 --> 01:26.188
enable a data-driven approach to

01:26.188 --> 01:28.132
assessing the operational risks in

01:28.132 --> 01:29.410
waterways management .

01:31.809 --> 01:34.330
NASA's data scientists are experts in

01:34.330 --> 01:36.690
using risk assessment tools to provide

01:36.690 --> 01:38.746
insight and information that was not

01:38.746 --> 01:41.079
previously available to decision makers .

01:41.079 --> 01:43.889
These experts use AIS data to evaluate

01:43.889 --> 01:45.760
patterns and events for safety ,

01:46.199 --> 01:48.599
security , law enforcement and planning .

01:51.739 --> 01:54.690
NASA enables near real time , worldwide

01:54.690 --> 01:56.912
access to maritime safety information ,

01:57.180 --> 01:59.019
decision making tools , and life

01:59.019 --> 02:01.339
support through its 24 hour a day

02:01.339 --> 02:03.172
support center and its website .

02:05.690 --> 02:08.009
Its navigation information service

02:08.009 --> 02:10.419
provides 24/7 maritime-related

02:10.419 --> 02:12.570
reporting , notifications , and

02:12.570 --> 02:14.459
coordinates with other government

02:14.459 --> 02:16.570
agencies to ensure the reliability of

02:16.570 --> 02:18.649
critical systems , including GPS and

02:18.649 --> 02:21.220
ship tracking . Together , the

02:21.220 --> 02:23.220
navigation center team delivers the

02:23.220 --> 02:25.442
capabilities and expertise that support

02:25.442 --> 02:28.250
safe , secure and efficient waterways ,

02:28.660 --> 02:30.716
allowing our maritime nation to meet

02:30.716 --> 02:33.630
the complex challenges of today and

02:33.630 --> 02:34.210
tomorrow .
