2009 World Maritime Day Parallel Event
Planning an event in your port
Please note: Some of the Web sites listed below are not federal government Web sites, and may
not necessarily operate under the same laws, regulations and policies as federal Web sites.
Since many people will not be able to attend the World Maritime Day Parallel Event in New York, ports around the country
held their own observances to provide valuable education, awareness and publicity on the maritime community's efforts
to combat climate change.
A
guide to assist ports in planning their World Maritime Day observance was created. The guide includes
information on World Maritime Day, climate change and its impacts on maritime transportation, along with a number of event
ideas.
For questions regarding how to plan a World Maritime Day observance, please contact the Port Outreach
