The United States is an Arctic nation. Due to climate change, the
Arctic is warming faster than any other region on Earth. As the
loss of sea ice creates a more accessible Arctic, the nation must
consider risks and opportunities for commerce and economic growth;
security of our maritime domain; indigenous peoples and their
subsistence cultures; and marine resource management, particularly
along the Alaskan coast. To enhance Arctic marine transportation
safety, protect Arctic people and the environment, build Arctic
marine infrastructure, and to ensure safe and secure maritime
shipping in the Arctic, Congress directed that the interagency
Committee on Marine Transportation System (CMTS) coordinate the
establishment of domestic transportation policies in the Arctic.
This book answers that Congressional directive while addressing the
considerations outlined above. This book also discusses current
commercial maritime activity in the U.S. Arctic and anticipated
activity in the next 10 years; actions taken by government entities
in support of planning and developing U.S. Arctic maritime
infrastructure; and federal interagency efforts to identify and
prioritize Arctic maritime-infrastructure investments.
