Marine Security Operations Centres

On April 27, 2004, the Government of Canada unveiled its new National Security Policy, an integrated strategy and action plan designed to address current and future threats. Among the various National Security Policy initiatives being undertaken by the Government of Canada is a renewed focus on strengthening marine security. An important element of this strategy is the establishment of fully joint interagency Marine Security Operations Centres.

The development of Marine Security Operations Centres is a DND-lead project aimed at enhancing marine intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities by shifting from a Navy-centric approach to a collaborative effort among specific federal agencies with vested interest in marine security.
