The Maritime Services directorate actively participates in the Pacific Coast Marine Review Panel (PACMAR) and Navaids and Navigational Aids Sub-committee (NANS).
PACMAR was formed in the summer of 1995 as a sub-committee to the Western Marine Community Coalition. One of the roles of PACMAR is to monitor the quality of services provided by CCG. In order to effectively address issues in depth, the Navaids and Navigational Aids sub-committee (NANS) meets monthly to review the use and need of floating and fixed navigational aids.
