Shipmates
As we returned from our visit to Shismareff, an Arctic Domain Awareness flight (CG 130) was returning to Nome with media representatives. Our Team held a press conference with the Mayor of Nome, Denise Michels, to talk about the intent of our visit and to answer questions.
The questions included inquiries future Coast Guard intent in the Arctic, the potential for forward operating locations, the reduced salmon runs in Alaska and the potential impact of other fisheries, and the intersection of Arctic issues with the Ocean Policy Task Force that is preparing a new policy for consideration by the President.
Each member introduced themselves and gave a short statement.
