External factors:
Success, in part, dependent on effectiveness of state programs.
Boater behavior not completely influenced by activities.
Continuing population migration to coastal areas will increase marine
recreation, waterway congestion, and demand for services.
Other Related Government Programs:
State and local government education programs - Coordinated with and
supported by the Coast Guard.
Industry/trade group education programs - Active partnership with the
Coast Guard to develop educational campaigns.
Evaluation Plan: The Coast Guard will conduct a program evaluation of its
maritime safety programs. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine
the impact that education, regulation, inspection, and rescue activities
have on maritime-related fatalities, injuries and property damage. The
evaluation will allow the Coast Guard to assess the combined and
disaggregated contributions of these activities, and provide information
to determine the optimal mix of prevention and mitigation safety
strategies.
