Title: NEW SECURITY MEASURES IN MARINE CREDENTIALS
Abstract: A Merchant Mariner Document (MMD) indicates a marine's qualifications, serves as a photo ID, allows access to sensitive ports, and may serve as a passport in certain situations. The Coast Guard, along with many other government agencies, has looked for ways to improve the security and safety of U.S. citizens after the terrorist attacks of September 11. This article examines the new procedures implemented by the Coast Guard that are designed to ensure MMD holders do not pose a safety or security threat.
