摘要：	Recendy retired Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Nadeau spoke widi The Waterways Journal, reflecting on his experiences as commander of die Eighth Coast Guard District, often known as District 8 or simply D8. It's one of the largest and most significant Coast Guard commands, responsible for Coast Guard operations spanning 26 states, including the Gulf of Mexico coastline from Florida to Mexico, die adjacent offshore waters and outer continental shelf and the inland waterways of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee River systems. "Each year, the Coast Guard men and women in District 8 inspect 10,000 U.S.-flag vessels, respond to about 1,300 oil spills and conduct about 8,000 search and rescue missions," Nadeau said. On top of the busy day-to-day workload, die D8 team tackled the 2020 Adantic hurricane season, the most active on record. Thankfully, these powerful storms did not result in many deaths or injuries. But each one of them required careful preparation, the prestaging of assets for post-storm assessments and response operations and die clearing and reopening of ports and waterways. "Even though none of them became a Katrina or Harvey, we had to get ready and be prepared for them all." Nadeau said.
