Description: The Government of Canada's Integrated Marine Response Planning Initiative unites federal departments and agencies involved in oil spill response across the country to develop cohesive, nationwide oil spill response plans. In the Arctic, the process begins by incorporating community and regional priorities, which then inform the strategies and tactics used by responders in the region. This presentation will outline the steps involved in community workshops, hazard mapping sessions, and the development of draft regional integrated response plans. These plans aim to blend Indigenous traditional knowledge with Western science to establish a comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem before a spill occurs. Additionally, the presentation will highlight how Indigenous Knowledge has been integrated into Canadian Coast Guard response operations in the Arctic.
