Session 5: Best Practices in Federal, Regional, and Local Level Collaboration and Community Outreach

Date: 6/26/2019
Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Discovery AB

The enormous breadth and scope of our nation’s marine transportation system is subject to
multiple jurisdictions. With the extraordinary diversity of the stakeholders that ply the
channels of the world’s largest waterway system, it is not surprising that potential conflicts
exist across various jurisdictional boundaries between federal agencies, states, navigation
districts, municipalities, and port authorities. This session will focus on the interplay, roles and barriers associated with regulating the navigable waterways of the United States.
