In January of 2007, the Maritime Administrator directed the agency to embark on an Environmental Excellence Initiative (EEI) to enhance the Agency's stewardship of the environment. Although the EEI is broad in scope, covering all agency programs and operations, the initial emphasis was placed on the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) Program as its operations are viewed as those posing the highest risk of direct impacts to the environment. The Maritime Administration operates three reserve fleet anchorages commonly known as the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet (SBRF), the Beaumont Reserve Fleet (BRF), and the James River Reserve Fleet (JRRF) (collectively the 'Fleets'). The list of vessels in these anchorages is updated monthly (National Defense Reserve Fleet Inventory) which includes the names of the vessels and the categories they occupy.
