Two programmes are offered as models. In the United Kingdom,
Project Kraken delivers an enhanced counter terrorist “vigilance”
capability within the maritime environment of the Solent area on the
South Coast. It engages key stakeholders together with local communities
to provide a hostile environment to terrorists and criminals looking
to disrupt the everyday lives and safety of those who live, work,
or travel through the Solent. Project Kraken provides a single central
phone number for the reporting of unusual activity or behaviour within
the maritime environment that might be linked to criminal or terrorist
acts. Similarly, in the United States, the America's Waterway
Watch programme utilizes existing reporting systems within
a public outreach programme, encouraging participants to report suspicious
activity to the U.S. Coast Guard and/or other law enforcement agencies.
