The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) will host a
webinar titled "Bering Strait Shipping: Sea Ice, Economics, and
Governance" on Tuesday, 12 January 2016 from 10:00 to 11:00 AKST. It
will be presented by Henry Huntington, Pew Charitable Trusts.
Commercial vessel traffic through the Bering Strait is expected to
increase in the coming years. Huntington will explore the role of
reduced sea ice, the economics of shipping, and the potential for
effective governance of maritime activity in the area. While
uncertainties abound, there are several steps that can be taken--some
already underway--to promote safe operations and cultural and
environmental protection for the Bering Strait and its peoples.
Huntington is a scientist with Pew's Arctic conservation efforts.
Huntington's research activities include reviewing the regulation of
subsistence hunting in northern Alaska, documenting traditional
ecological knowledge of beluga and bowhead whales, examining Inupiat
Eskimo and Inuit knowledge and use of sea ice, and assessing the impacts
of climate change on Arctic communities and marine mammals. He lives
with his wife and two sons in Eagle River, Alaska.
