Safe Navigation in the U.S. Arctic: A Workshop

Completed

Topics

An ad hoc committee will organize a public workshop on navigation safety in U.S. Arctic waters to inform public and private stakeholders about the navigation safety challenges resulting from environmental changes in the Arctic. These changes are resulting in expanded commercial shipping and offshore operations, as well as the risks associated with navigation under present (ocean and infrastructure) conditions. The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussions on options, such as new infrastructure, policies, practices, and international partnerships, that could help ensure safe navigation in U.S. Arctic waters.
