Together, they enforce security across 7,500 miles of land border between the United States and Mexico and Canada, and protect more than 361 seaports and 95,000 miles of coastline. To fulfill their missions, these agencies deploy a variety of valuable air and marine assets. In this report, GAO analyzed (1) what efforts DHS has undertaken to facilitate coordination of the air and marine assets of the three agencies and (2) how the agencies' local air and marine units have, in selected areas, coordinated the use of assets and what challenges they faced. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-543/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-543.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-543/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-543.pdf GAO-05-543 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-543 Other Written Product GAO-05-543; Border Security: Opportunities to Increase Coordination of Air and Marine Assets; Aircraft Border security Homeland security Interagency relations Interoperability Ships Agency missions Volume 118 Page 1298 118 Stat. 1298 Public Law 107-286
