Marine Safety Blog

Rear Admiral Jim Watson, Director of Prevention Policy, has truly embraced social media and understands how it improves his ability to communicate with his stakeholders/customers. I am posting an e-mail I received from him recently to improve awareness of this communication channel:

Please visit the Coast Guard Marine Safety blog. It's all video material right now, because I started on YouTube. I have posted a weekly commentary on Coast Guard marine safety activities once a week since early March and hope to continue doing so until I transfer next month. Fortunately my successor, Rear Admiral Kevin Cook, has agreed to continue on after I leave. Also, Proceedings of the Marine Safety and Security Council and their contributors may begin blogging on this site. Please spread the link and send suggestions/comments. Thanks.

I will join RDML Watson later this week at the 11th Annual Harbor Safety Committee Conference in Tampa, Fl. We will blog/tweet on those discussions.
