Kawerak understands that the increasing amount of marine
vessel traffic through the Bering Strait is a high concern for our region’s
Tribes. Kawerak also understands that Tribes want more information about this
vessel traffic and want influence over it. For these reasons, Kawerak is
partnering with a group of organizations to develop Arctic Watch, and we are
inviting Tribal delegates to an upcoming workshop to help shape the project. Arctic Watch is an effort to build a sea traffic
management system in the Bering Strait to make marine shipping safer for
vessels, coastal communities, and wildlife.
