<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#454545">“The Brownwater/Bluewater Symposium is hugely important to the coast guard and to industry in this region. It’s a great example of industry for best practices for the nation, where they come together
to talk about safety issues and to find ways to improve safety on the Houston Ship Channel.”

<span-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#454545">The goal of the program is to create a facilitated dialog between the professionals who work on the water in Houston, with the aim of improving communication, trust and general knowledge regarding
the capabilities and limitations of the different vessels using the waterway.
