Contamination Risk for Underwater Divers (CRUD) Workshop Proceedings
Abstract
The Contamination Risk for Underwater Divers (CRUD) Workshop was convened by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific) to facilitate an open forum and dialogue between contaminated water diving (CWD) community stakeholders, for purposes of discussing diving concerns related to aquatic environmental contamination, which can be characterized within a risk framework. The workshop was focused on the identification and evaluation of critical aspects of chemical and biological hazards at dive sites that may drive potential risk associated with diving in contaminated water. Particular emphasis was placed on the sharing of known impacts, potential challenges and solutions, and experiences, including lessons learned, that might lead to synergies amongst CWD stakeholders going forward. The workshop initially focused on developing a problem statement from a high-level perspective that would serve as a starting point from which discussion by participants would commence in order to identify and incorporate important aspects that were necessary for consensus-building. The following proceedings capture the details of topics and related free-flowing discussions as they occurred in real time, and in an appropriate level of detail, with the goal of providing the reader with a sense of current issues that are germane to CWD risk.
