Marine Safety Units

Marine Safety Units (MSUs) are specialized teams within agencies like the U.S. Coast Guard, focused on ensuring safety in maritime environments. They handle various tasks, including preventing accidents, responding to emergencies, conducting safety inspections, and enforcing maritime laws. MSUs work to protect lives and property on the water, addressing issues such as boating safety, pollution prevention, and search-and-rescue operations. They play a crucial role in safeguarding both recreational and commercial maritime activities, ensuring that waterways are safe for everyone.
