Current maritime security practices mainly provide landside security measures but the waterside security issues are not always that clearly defined, and solutions are even more situation-specific than terrestrial ones.  Waterside security includes a range of activities of preventive character, ultimately aiming at controlling who and what enters the perimeter from the water. It includes crews, passengers and cargo entering on-board large announced vessels, on-board small unannounced surface crafts, swimmers, divers or small submersibles, aerial drone, underwater drones, and even under-keel appendices commonly used for smuggling and, potentially, for terrorism.  Nature also plays a big role: floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and even wild animals such as sharks or whales can constitute a life-threatening hazard to humans.
