Port Assessment Teams from Coast Guard Sector New Orleans conduct patrols along levees and waterway facilities to identify hazards and irregularities. Teams inspect buoys, structures, and navigable channels during high water events, ensuring safe vessel transit and operational readiness. These assessments allow the Coast Guard to mitigate risks, implement safety measures, and maintain clear waterways for maritime operations. Teams operate with equipment and procedures to monitor conditions and protect personnel and commerce.
