USCG, DEC sign marine pollution MOU

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and the 17th Coast Guard District are pledging increased cooperation during marine pollution incidents.

DEC Commissioner Larry Hartig and Rear Admiral Gene Brooks, commander of the 17th Coast Guard District, signed a memorandum of agreement June 16 that enhances cooperation in spill response, planning, training, information sharing and inspection of vessels and facilities.

“The purpose of this agreement is to better ensure the strongest protection for waters and resources of Alaska,” Hartig said in a statement.

Brooks said, “Cooperation and coordination in government is crucial to the public we serve. Not being content with our current strong relationship, we are moving forward, together, to enhance our planning, capabilities and operations to strengthen the protection of Alaska’s marine environment.”
