U.s. Coast Guard Sector Response Map

The U.S. Coast Guard Sector provides for rapid, coordinated response to natural or man-made emergencies, along with integrated daily operations to enforce regulations governing marine safety, security and environmental protection. The Sector provides an immediate safety and security assessment at the onset of any maritime event, disaster or casualty, affording critical information essential to effective emergency response.

The Sector organization represents a transformation from a U.S. Coast Guard traditionally organized around its operational programs to one organized around core operational service delivery processes. It focuses the coordinated efforts of all assigned operational capabilities to accomplish U.S. Coast Guard mission objectives.

Under 33 CFR PART 155 T&T BISSO provides the defined services as per the U.S. Coast Guard’s Captain of the Port Requirements.
