Alumni Publication: "Boats of Bengal: The United States Must Step Up" by Commander Kevin Duffy
In July, the U.S. Naval Institute's Proceedings Magazine published the article "Boats of Bengal: The United States Must Step Up" by NESA Center alum Commander Kevin Duffy, U.S. Coast Guard (Retired).
Duffy writes that there is an "urgent need for change in the Bay of Bengal and the adjacent Andaman Sea—a change that must be led by regional governments without delay" in light of the deaths and/or disappearances of hundreds of Rohingya refugees in the last year in the Bay of Bengal or Andaman Sea.
