infrastructure and operations; identifying risks (threats, 
vulnerabilities, and consequences); determining mitigation strategies 
and implementation methods; developing and describing the process to

and vulnerabilities, how they may change over time, and what additional 
mitigation strategies can be applied; and providing advice to, and 
assisting the Captain of the Port in developing and maintaining the 
Area Maritime Security Plan.
