MITIGATION CATEGORIES

• Coordination / Planning Improve long-range and/or
  contingency planning and better coordinate
  activities / improve dialogue between port
  stakeholders
• Voluntary Training Establish / use voluntary
  programs to educate mariners / boaters in topics
  related to waterway safety (Rules of the Road,
  ship/boat handling, etc.)
• Rules Procedures Establish / refine rules,
  regulations, policies, or procedures (nav rules,
  pilot rules, standard operating procedures, RNAs,
  licensing, require training and education, etc.)
• Enforcement More actively enforce existing rules
  / policies (navigation rules, vessel inspection
  regulations, standards of care, etc.)
• Nav / Hydro Info Improve navigation and
  hydrographic information (PORTS, BNTM, charts,
  coast pilots, AIS, tides current tables, etc.)
• Radio Communications Improve the ability to
  communicate bridge-to-bridge or ship-to-shore
  (radio reception coverage, signal strength,
  reduce interference congestion, etc.)
• Active Traffic Mgmt Establish/improve a Vessel
  Traffic Service (info, advice control) or
  Vessel Traffic Information Service (information
  advice only)
• Waterway Changes Widen / deepen / straighten the
  channel and/or improve the aids to navigation
  (buoys, ranges, lights, LORAN C, DGPS, etc.)
• Other Actions Risk mitigation measures needed do
  NOT fall under any of the above strategy
  categories
