Monitoring vessels in the Arctic
- "Thousands of vessels, from enormous cargo ships to much smaller fishing boats, annually traverse the waters around Alaska — and that activity is only increasing as global warming causes arctic ice to melt at a rapid clip... the U.S. Coast Guard is responsible for protecting the waters that surround our nation, including in the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, and there simply aren’t enough Coast Guard personnel to keep a direct watch over the 6,640 miles of Alaska coastline — so they rely on a variety of sophisticated monitoring tools that all feed into a unified system: CG OneView." - Excerpt from University of Alaska- Anchorage
