My name is Petty Officer Kira Adams.
I'm a marine science technician in the
United States Coast Guard. Yesterday I
was on scene with a tank ship who spilled
200 gallons of crude oil.
near an environmentally sensitive area.
I was overseeing a cleanup crew who
plays containment boom to ensure the
protection of the wildlife.
Earlier today I was part of the team
that examined a commuter ferry to ensure
the safe voyage for passengers and crew. Everyday we work together to ensure maritime
safety and security. From busy ports to
pristine shorelines we protect America's
natural resources from hazardous
materials and international violators.
I take pride in keeping our nation's
waters clean and our mariners safe.
