SUMMARY REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE PREVENTION OF MARINE OIL POLLUTION IN THE ARCTIC.
As Northern waters become increasingly accessible as a result of a warming climate, offshore oil and gas operations, maritime shipping and tourism are all expected to increase over the coming years. The Arctic environment however presents a set of spill response and recovery challenges which are not...
