National Concept of Operations for Maritime Domain Awareness
"This Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) provides a foundation for developing interagency and agency-specific policies, processes, procedures, and organizational relationships to align activities that contribute to achieving MDA. This initial spiral is primarily interagency focused, providing a federal approach to developing maritime domain awareness at home and abroad in support of the security, safety, economy, and environment of the United States. Many of the concepts and ideas expressed in this document are also applicable in working with local, state, tribal, international and private sector partners. Achieving MDA depends on the ability to monitor activities in such a way that trends can be identified and anomalies detected. The desired state is transparency in the maritime domain. This document has two purposes. First, it is intended to execute the National Plan to Achieve Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA Plan) in support of the National Strategy for Maritime security and National Security Presidential Directive-41 / Homeland Security Presidential Directive-13 and help create an effective, on-going National MDA Enterprise. Second, it seeks to provide the members and leadership of that enterprise the benefit of understanding gained by inter-departmental work groups over a period of three years. It is intended to be strategic in nature so as to permit flexibility in addressing agency-specific needs."

Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness Annual Report 2009
"The Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness (OGMSA) is a multi-agency office created to coordinate efforts to achieve the situational awareness aspect of Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) among U.S. federal, state, and local agencies, tribal authorities, other nations, and the maritime industry in support of the U.S. National Plan to Achieve Maritime Domain Awareness (NPAMDA). [...] Fiscal Year 2009 was a turning point for Maritime Domain Awareness [MDA] and the global maritime community of interest made significant progress in developing awareness of the maritime domain. President Obama reaffirmed the U.S. MDA governance process, keeping in place the interagency committee for coordinating Maritime Security policy. Vessel traffic in the open oceans became more transparent during FY09. The U.S. maritime community of interest significantly improved its ability to share data with the rest of the government, while federal departments charged with homeland defense and security took a major step forward developing a Common Intelligence Picture. Other nations improved their own MDA capabilities and shared those improvements with the global maritime community of interest. Even the civilian private sector became excited by the ability to contribute to and benefit from global maritime awareness during FY09 using off-the-shelf, Web based applications. This moves MDA into the open-source domain and begins to bring to certain non-classified elements of global maritime situational awareness the benefits of mass collaboration, with thousands of volunteers contributing their own knowledge and information to a common picture of the world's oceans. These developments set the stage for an even greater explosion of MDA achievements in Fiscal Year 2010."

Global Maritime Information Sharing Symposium 2009: Streamlining Information Sharing: Improving Efficiency, Security, Safety and the Environment
"The Global Maritime Information Sharing Symposium (GMISS) is an annual event hosted by the Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness (OGMSA) to better coordinate government interaction with the maritime industry, improve and increase industry-government maritime information sharing relationships, and to bring industry issues before the interagency bodies that coordinate government maritime policies. Maritime information sharing can improve security, safety and environmental protection, while increasing efficiency and reducing friction for legitimate commerce. The policies that govern the use and sharing of information are being revised to optimize the use of information. Pro-active industry involvement in the development of maritime information sharing policies ensures the outcomes are beneficial and effective across all stakeholders. GMISS brings together representatives of the shipping industry, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies to collaborate on a global system of maritime information sharing and gives the maritime industry an ongoing forum to help shape the development of maritime information sharing policies."

Inaugural Global Maritime Information Sharing Symposium
"The inaugural Global Maritime Information Sharing Symposium (GMISS) was held on August 20-21, 2008 at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, New York and brought together a diverse mix of over 125 participants from maritime companies, associations, navies, coast guards and government agencies from around the world." Symposium attendees were asked to consider three vantage points and five core questions, which were focused in four working groups: "Working Group A: Issue - Can Government Information Requests to Shipping Companies be Consolidated, Streamlined, Standardized or Reduced?; Working Group B: Issue - What is the Law Enforcement/Industry Model for an International/Domestic Maritime Information Sharing Center?; Working Group C: Issue - What does the Maritime Industry Want from the World's Navies and Coast Guards?; and Working Group D: Issue - How Do We Create Economic Incentives for Maritime Information Sharing?" This report includes the working group findings, as well as the suggested next steps.
