About Douglas Salik

With over two and a half years as a Senior Regulatory Specialist at the U.S. Coast Guard, I focus on leveraging expertise in communication, community engagement, and program planning to enhance maritime safety and regulatory compliance. My role centers on supporting safe and efficient operations within the maritime domain by working collaboratively with international, state, local, and tribal stakeholders. With more than five years of experience as the Prevention Department Head at the U.S. Coast Guard, I have led a diverse team in vessel and facility inspections, waterways management, and marine safety initiatives. My work is dedicated to maintaining safe, navigable waterways, fostering community cooperation, and ensuring the seamless movement of commerce across critical regions such as the Great Lakes.
