USCG & USGS – seismometers deployed in Alaska waters
The US Coast Guard issued a news release stating that, working with scientists from the US Geological Survey (USGS), it deployed 12 ocean-bottom seismometers along a 28-mile section of the Queen Charlotte-Fairweather Fault in waters northwest of Craig, Alaska. The fault is similar to the better-known San Andreas Fault, but is located entirely offshore. (5/1/13). House – bill introduced to improve oil spill response
Representative Young (R-FL) introduced the Secure All Facilities to Effectively Guard the United States Against and Respond to Dangerous Spills Act of 2013 [SAFEGUARDS Act of 2013] (H.R. 1820) to amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to modernize and enhance the Federal Government's response to oil spills, to improve oversight and regulation of offshore drilling, and for other purposes. (4/26/13).
Fisheries and Ocean Canada posted the Arctic Voyage Planning Guide (AVPG). It is a compilation of data and services relevant to mariners navigating in the Arctic region of Canada and is intended to serve as a strategic planning tool, but does not replace official carriage information or products.
