Crude Move Symposium: Oil Transportation Infrastructure, Economics, Risk, Hazards and Lessons Learned
On June 8-9, 2017, U.S. and Canadian government, industry, academic and non-governmental (NGO) stakeholders assembled at a first-of-its-kind crude oil movement symposium for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin and other critical northern watersheds including Lake Champlain and the Hudson River.
Hosted by the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network, Gulf of Mexico Sea Grant Oil Spill Science Outreach Program, Great Lakes Commission, and International Joint Commission, the symposium provided an opportunity to increase stakeholder understanding of the complexity of crude oil movement in these important northern basins. Topics presented included regional transportation, economics, hazards and risk, emergency response and lessons learned from the Gulf of Mexico.
