Maritime Domain Awareness or MDA is the critical enabler of maritime security and defense. It will provide the right information, in the right format, to the right place, at the right time.
Fully evolved MDA will permit space de-confliction, precision engagement (interdiction) and battle space management.
Tactical and operational commanders will know where blue and white forces are and will have the means to find the red forces.
The right resource can be selected to engage the threat regardless of the form it takes: vessel, cargo, or people. The resources may come from any number of defense, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies.
The Coast Guard cannot achieve MDA single-handedly. Our Intelligence Coordination Center is co-located with the Navy (NMIC). We lash up with other intelligence (an Air Force UAV and a Navy P-3 aircraft) and law enforcement agencies. We are developing Coast Guard Fusion Centers to support operational commanders by combining all-source raw data into actionable intelligence. Fusion Centers will exchange intelligence with domestic and international marine industry stakeholders [i.e., maritime industry, recreational vessels, private citizens]; NORTHCOM; other federal, state, and local LE agencies; NSA; CIA; and various parts of DHS (IAIP, BCBP, & TTIC). Effective MDA enables informed decision making at the strategic and tactical levels.
Background
Information Analysis & Infrastructure Protection identifies and assesses a broad range of intelligence information concerning threats to the homeland under one roof, issues timely warnings, and take appropriate preventive and protective action.
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection is one of three components in the Border and Transportation Security Directorate.  The new bureau will enforce customs and immigration laws.  
A new Terrorist Threat Integration Center will analyze, in a single location, all threat information collected domestically and abroad. When fully operational, the TTIC will house a database of known and suspected terrorists that will be accessible to officials across the country. The FBI would continue to conduct separate analysis while gathering and distributing information with the center.

This slide depicts Coast Guard presence and authorities throughout the Maritime domain.
Presence. Our presence includes a variety of activities within U.S. ports, in the coastal zone, further offshore, and even in foreign ports of embarkation, providing defense in depth, and pressing our borders outward as far as possible. These activities are aimed mainly (but not exclusively) at Awareness and Prevention.
Capabilities. The Coast Guard has, or is in the process of acquiring the necessary capabilities to conduct these activities. For example, we are in the process of recapitalizing our fleet of major cutters and aircraft through an acquisition known as the Integrated Deepwater System. We are also increasing our capabilities by acquiring Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSSTs).
Authorities. Our COTPs exercise extremely broad authorities related to the safety and security of our ports and waterways. If necessary, they can even close a port in order to take additional security measures to protect our Maritime Transportation System and critical infrastructure. Our authorities, however, are not limited to U.S. ports, or even to our territorial seas.
Even before 9/11, we maintained a significant presence on the high seas and exercised a great deal of jurisdiction with the cooperation of both Flag and Coastal States. Much of that cooperation has been codified through bilateral agreements. We continue to pursue such cooperative arrangements.
