USCG

The US Coastguard is not fit for purpose. This based on around 8 years of working in the US Gulf of Mexico. Jobs for the boys (and those who couldn't make the grade in the USN or merchant marine).

Did you read the initial report posted in the Baltimore bridge collapse thread?

Regarding the Pelican Island bridge...

Involved with the response are:

- U.S. Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston

- U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Texas City

- U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Houston

- U.S. Coast Guard Station Galveston


- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

- Texas Department of Transportation

- Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

- Texas Parks and Wildlife

- Texas General Land Office

- Texas A&M

- Galveston County Office of Emergency Management

- Galveston County Police Department

- Galveston Fire Department


https://www.news.uscg.mil/Press-Release ... lision-in/

From their own website, "The US Coast Guard manages six major operational mission programs: maritime law enforcement, maritime response, maritime prevention, marine transportation system management, maritime security operations, and defense operations."
