| Summary: | meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. The purpose of the meeting (the latest in a series of such meetings) was to review various oil and gas activities, including seismic surveys, site clearance/shallow hazard surveys, exploratory drilling, and operation of an artificial island that is actively producing oil, with a focus on their potential effects on marine ecosystems in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. Much of the meeting focused on analyses of past exploration, monitoring, and research activities, as well as descriptions of proposed 2011 activities by Shell, ConocoPhillips, British Petroleum (BP), and Statoil, as well as ION a company that specializes in seismic surveys. Additionally, a presentation was also given by a National Science Foundation (NSF) researcher who intends to conduct scientific seismic surveys in the Chukchi Sea, near the Chukchi Borderlands, in 2011.
