Description

The retreat of polar sea ice in the Arctic, combined with an expected increase in human activity, has heightened U.S. interests in the Arctic region. To supplement U.S. Arctic policy, the White House and federal agencies have issued Arctic strategies and plans. Since the Arctic region has a substantial maritime domain, the Coast Guard plays a significant role in Arctic policy implementation and enforcement. This report discusses, among other things, the extent to which the Coast Guard has (1) reported progress in implementing its Arctic strategy; (2) assessed its Arctic capabilities and taken actions to mitigate any identified gaps; and (3) reported being able to carry out polar icebreaking operations. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
