Great Lakes Demonstration 2
Abstract
This report describes the continuance of an effort by the Coast Guard in collaboration with other Federal, state, and local agencies, private industry, and international interested parties, to gain practical knowledge and field experience in the coordination and operation of equipment, and exploration of techniques applicable to the recovery of oil spills in ice-infested waters. The effort explored and demonstrated a variety of commercial oil skimmers, boom capturing, and fire cannon herding equipment in rubble and sheet ice conditions during January 2012 in the Straits of Mackinac on the Great Lakes in northern Michigan. The demonstration produced many valuable lessons learned that are applicable to ice-infested waters within the continental United States and in the Arctic waters of Alaska.
