Zero Point Four

Zero Point Four is a thought-provoking audiobook by six leading experts in maritime, ocean, and security issues, led by retired U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral James Watson. It examines the decline of the U.S. maritime industry, which now contributes to less than 0.4% of the world’s ocean-going commercial fleet, and highlights its significance through five essential principles: National, Economic, Energy and Food, Climate, and Workforce Security. The authors not only analyze pressing challenges but also offer a comprehensive 57-Point Action Plan aimed at revitalizing the U.S. maritime sector, emphasizing its critical role in national security amid global uncertainties.
