Where vessel and stored in marked possible, dry garbage recyclable containers. is incinerated outside of the Arctic (60 degrees), at times, it is necessary to incinerate while within the Arctic waters. The incinerator is only used when the vessel is underway. Combustable solid wastes include dry garbages: paper product, natural textiles, food waste (aside from poultry), and food packaging crates. Any non- combustable and non- recyclable waste is stored onboard and dispose of in port.

If possible all waste will be held in tanks and disposed of when the ship is south of 60 degrees North. If not possible, then untreated sewage will be discharged at a moderate rat e while the vessel is underway at a speed of no less than 4 knots when the is more than 12 nautical miles from land or ice shelves. MARPOL permits the disposal of untreated sewage beyond the 3 nautical mile limit. RCGS Resolute complies with the MARPOL requirements for sewage treatment.

Avatiliriniqmut Ayurhautingit: Various aspects of ship operation, passenger activity offshore, Zodiac cruising and passenger activity ashore have been assessed for their potential impacts. The cumulative impact of the proposed activities is considered. One Ocean Expeditions Strictly adheres to all guidelines in regards to wildlife viewing, always maintaining a safe distance between wildlife, passengers, and staff. There are no moorings established, and no infrastructure of any type place onshore during activities. Appropriate measure are in place to mitigate adverse impacts of our cruise program. Passenger activity ashore is considered on the most likely activities to cause environmental impact. Adherence to AECO and Marpol, comprehensive and regular briefings, high staff to passenger ratios and careful monitoring by staff will minimize potential for impacts ashore. Impacts to air and water quality, flora and fauna, historic and geologic features could occur during shore operations and landings. Precaution, appropriate permitting, and responsible site management is enforced. Careful planning and thorough briefings by Captain, Officers, Expedition Leaders and Operations Managers to the ships crew, staff and passengers will also minimize impacts. Good communications between all vessels and their Masters and Expedition Leaders will help to minimize any impacts Additional Information SECTION A1: Project Info

Qanurittuq Ittunik Avatinga: Avatingalluanga

As a company we have made efforts to reduce our global environmental footprint. Specific to this operating season, we have planned our provisions in a way to reduce waste, reduced the amount of disposed plastics, sourced biodegradable products, and ensured that food is sourced as sustainably as possible. Various aspects of ship operation, passenger activity offshore, Zodiac cruising and passenger activity ashore have been assessed for their potential impacts. The cumulative impact of the proposed activities is considered.

Qanurittuq Ittunik Avatinga: Inuuhimayunut Avatinga

Passenger activity ashore is considered one of the most likely activities to cause environmental impact. Impacts to air and water quality, flora and fauna, historic and geologic features could occur during sure operations and landings. Precautions and responsible sit management is practiced. Permits have been submitted for Archeology sites through Nunavut Archeology for proper site visits.

Qanurittuq Ittunik Avatinga: Inungit-maniliurutingit Avatinga

One Ocean Expeditions work closely with Inuit in the communities to assist in making community arrangements, and in turn support socio-economic developments including: hiring of guides for community tours, cultural performances, Inuit bear guards, and Inuit guides on-board our vessel for the duration of our Arctic Cruise season. Visitor fees are paid at each community stop, and any additional costs associated with the visit including permits received, prepared foods, and purchased gifts. We are diligent we have all the appropriate permits in place to ensure we are complying with Inuit and government regulations. In addition, One Ocean has comprehensive travel requirements for guests to ensure responsible travel, including proper site practices, and education about sensitive ecosystems and Inuit communities we visit. OOE anticipates to bring an estimated $90,000 in economic development support.

Miscellaneous Project Information

With regards to polar bear operations, we have developed extensive experience in the Canadian Arctic and in (as Peregrine Adventures – before the merger with Quark). Our own guidelines prevent us from going ashore if a bear is spotted onshore (considered an unnecessary risk). Before passengers go ashore, polar bear guards go ashore for approximately one hour to survey the site and check for risk areas, sleeping bears or food sources (dead whale carcasses). If the site is deemed to risky, we move to another site. If the site is deemed okay, our guides will brief the rest of the expedition team and passengers and run the excursion. Alternate evacuation plans are made and sufficient zodiacs are kept on the water to rapidly evacuate passengers from shore.

We are members of AECO and as such will follow all AECO guidelines and utilize AECO training standards to finalize the training of our staff. Our expedition leaders have Arctic experience and will rely heavily on the experience of senior expedition staff with as many as 10 seasons experience in the Canadian Arctic.Regarding minimization of impact onshore, our guides are trained in both Polar Regions to minimize damage to vegetation, staying off of soft ground, keep distance from wildlife and respecting any cultural, historical or archaeological sites. Appropriate measures are in place to mitigate adverse impacts of our cruise program. Passenger activity ashore is considered one of the most likely activities to cause an environmental impact. Adherence to AECO and Marpol Convention, the Polar Code IMO, SOLAS, proper briefings, acceptable staff to passenger ratios and careful monitoring by staff will minimize the potential for impact at sea, and ashore. Careful planning and thorough briefings by Captain, Officers, Expedition Leaders and Operations Managers to the ships crew, staff and passengers will also minimize impacts. Good communications between all vessels and their Masters and Expedition Leaders will help to minimize any impacts.Passengers are given the AECO guidelines of conduct for visitors in their final pre-departure information package. Upon embarkation onboard, passengers are briefed on any relevant guidelines and directed to their cabin info booklets for written copies of the guidelines. Passengers are subject to a mandatory safety, polar bear operations and guidelines of conduct briefing before the first zodiac excursion is planned.
