Meeting Goal
The immediate goal of this workshop will be to assess the current state-of-the-art of spill response in northern and western Alaska and determine what approaches could benefit from spill exercises potentially implemented in the Great Lakes. The topics to be address will be: fate and behavior of oil in the Arctic, oil detection, spill mitigation and recovery, and potential at-sea exercises. The outcome will be a report written by CRRC staff summarizing the dialog and conclusions.
