December 3, 2020 (Virtual) – The Canadian Marine Shipping Risk Forum hosted the workshop Creating an Inventory of Marine Shipping Risk Resources, aimed at developing an inventory of initiatives and information resources associated with marine shipping risk.
Presented By:
The workshop Creating an Inventory of Marine Shipping Risk Resources, hosted by the Canadian Marine Shipping Risk Forum (CMSRF), successfully welcomed over 90 registrants and four presenters from across Canada, who collaborated to advance information and resources related to marine shipping risk.
This workshop is part of a larger series of events and activities the CMSRF is undertaking to help identify and address gaps in shipping risk knowledge and risk communication by:
- Looking at Canadian initiatives and information resources relating to shipping risk,
- Outlining a common risk framework for marine shipping, and
- Mapping initiatives and resources to a risk framework.
Workshop Overview & Objectives
The goal of this workshop was to create an inventory of shipping risk resources and initiatives. Bringing together representatives of government agencies, Indigenous groups, researchers, and other relevant organizations from across Canada whose work focuses on maritime shipping, the workshop offered participants the opportunity to hear from leading experts as well as work collaboratively in small break-out groups to contribute to the inventory.
