| Description |
The purpose of this proposal is to conduct a planning workshop for an
experimental oil spill in pack ice offshore Canada. Specifically this work
will:
- Prepare a background information document for the proposed workshop;
- Plan the workshop;
- Facilitate the workshop; and,
- Write a report on the results of the workshop.
|
| Progress |
The workshop was successfully conducted November 1-2, 2005 at the Bedford
Institute of Oceanography, Halifax, Nova Scotia. 30 scientists from nine
countries participated in the workshop. A Steering Committee has been formed
to proceed with planning of the experimental oil spill. MMS and the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada are work to conduct this research
project under the auspices of the International Polar Year. Planning is
continuing to plan an experimental spill offshore Eastern Canada or the
Canadian Beaufort Sea in 2007 or 2008. This project is complete. |
