Bering Strait: Navigation and Conservation in Times of Conflict
The Bering Strait region is a particularly unique area - one of the Arctic's most productive and sensitive environments but also a region increasingly facing pressure and challenges. Amidst an upheaval in relations between Russia and the other Arctic states exist transboundary risks associated with increased vessel activity, which continue to advance despite these deteriorated conditions.
On November 2, 2022, the Harvard Kennedy School's Arctic Initiative, the Wilson Center's Polar Institute, and the World Wildlife Fund held a virtual workshop on transboundary risk management in the Bering Strait region.
Panel 2: Operator and Policy Reflections
Panelists:
Captain Leanne M. Lusk, United States Coast Guard
Leslie Canavera, PolArctic
Shannon Jenkins, United States Coast Guard
Matt Bell, Ted Stevens Center
Captain Steve White, Marine Exchange
Moderator: Mike Sfraga, U.S. Arctic Research Commission
