Discussion paper: regulatory update for shipping in Canada's Arctic waters: options for an ice regime system
The two ice-related systems that are used in the Arctic Pollution Prevention Regulations are briefly described and the research to establish their scientific basis is summarized. It is shown that neither system has a strong scientific basis. This fact, along with the new international initiatives fo...
