  USCSG-TR-04-2007 - PDF
  This conference is the second sponsored by USC Sea Grant on the issue of maritime cargo security. The meetings would not have been possible without the generous support of the NOAA Coastal Services Center, Margaret Davidson, Esq., Director.

  Maritime cargo security is an especially important issue in southern California, home to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the busiest marine cargo seaport in the United States. The conference on which this proceedings reports was, furthermore, made relevant by the diligent efforts of a wise and dedicated steering committee, whose members are noted below. FuturePorts, an organization advocating robust port and supporting infrastructure, a strong economy and green port technology, was instrumental in connecting the theme of the conference to the users of the ports. Elizabeth Warren, its Executive Director, served as an indispensable co-chair of the entire enterprise.
