Vessels on the Great Lakes and US Coast Guard’s Involvement in Pollution Prevention and Response

The US Coast Guard is charged with the responsibility as the Federal On-scene Coordinator in the Coastal Zone, to include the waters of the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes serve as an invaluable host of uses to include water consumption, transportation, power, and recreation. This presentation will discuss the vessels that utilize the Great Lakes, a broad overview of pollution prevention regulations that apply to vessels, and the US Coast Guard’s actions upon notification of a pollution incident from a vessel into the waterway. After registering, you will receive an email from "EGLE Outreach" with a link for you to use to join the webinar. Individuals needing language assistance or accommodations for effective participation should contact Joel Roseberry roseberryj@michigan.gov by April 7 to request language, mobility, visual, hearing, translation, and/or other assistance.
