In a section on the Arctic Ocean, the commission calls for more money to increase the scientific understanding of the region’s environment and wildlife in areas where drilling is expected. The Obama administration is near final approval for Shell Oil to drill this summer in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. The commissioners point out that the Coast Guard has said it isn’t capable of responding to an oil spill in the Arctic. They called for industry to demonstrate that it can contain and clean up an oil spill in Arctic conditions. Shell and government agencies conducted Arctic oil-spill exercises last month. The industry also has experi- mented with burning spilled oil and recovering it with machinery in icy conditions in Norway and in a lab, but “these techniques have not been successfully tested in the extreme weather condi- tions that are often present in Keynote Speaker: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Arctic waters, nor (have) they been evaluated in any significant way by govern- ment entities,” the commis- sioners reported.
