ERMA is still doing good work, this time in the Alaskan artic where it will serve as a resource for managmenet and response as Shell plans drilling exploratory wells in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas later this summer. Data is provided by, among others, Alaska Ocean Observing System, the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the state’s Arctic boroughs.
