The United States Coast Guard has issued Marine Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB) 07-21 on COVID-19: Spotlights on the Mental Health of Mariners to draw attention to the pandemic and how it has compounded existing stressors and created new stressors on maritime personnel, including feelings of isolation, and physical and mental fatigue. The MSIB  assures mariners that seeking mental health care will not jeopardize their marine medical certification nor should mariners fear reprisal or punishment from the USCG.
