Key Takeaways: Building a Resilient Port Strategy The first step in developing a resilient port strategy is understanding the locations of the domestic supply chain along with the location of customers. The ability to use multiple ports of entry is key for shippers because there are unexpected disruptions at ports because Panama Canal issues, labor problems, and shifting regulations at the ports. Shippers must also consider potential labor union issues with both the West Coast and East Coast longshoremen unions. The California Ports are more challenging to service because of AB5 and CARB AB5 refers to Assembly Bill 5, a California law that went into effect on January 1, 2020. It is also known as the “Gig Worker Law” or the “Independent Contractor Law.” AB5 aims to classify more workers as employees rather than independent contractors, CARB emissions refer to emissions of pollutants regulated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). To build a resilient port strategy, shippers must consider the impact of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act (OSRA) of 2022, which includes the following provisions: Unreasonable Refusal to Deal – A provision that requires that an ocean common carrier shall not unreasonably refuse to deal or negotiate with respect to vessel space accommodation. Demurrage and Detention Billing Requirements – A new rule that seeks to provide more clarity, consistency, structure and punctuality to the demurrage and detention billing practices used by vessel operating common carriers (VOCCs), non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) and marine terminal operators (MTOs). Unfair or Unjust Discriminatory Methods – The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) will define what is unfair or unjust discriminatory methods used by carriers regarding concerns and complaints by exporters and small shippers. Lastly, to build a resilient port strategy, shippers should get the select the right partner – companies that have a comprehensive knowledge of the ports – companies like Port X Logistics and Squall Strategies.

CINDY ZIPF OF THE CLEAN OCEAN ACTION JOINS DAWN - LATEST IN THE LOCAL NJ WIND TURBINE PROJECT... CINDY EXPANDS ON THE RECENT APPROVAL AND WHAT IT COULD MEAN... NJ hits reset on offshore wind, approves two massive projects - VIA EE NEWS BY POLITICO...New Jersey was ground zero for offshore wind's woes in 2023. Now, it's a testing ground for the industry's recovery. New Jersey utility regulators awarded contracts Wednesday to a pair of the largest offshore wind projects ever planned in the United States. The two projects combined would generate enough power to supply 1.8 million homes and deliver an emissions cut equivalent to removing nearly 1.3 million cars from the road. The decision by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities came on the heels of a Danish developer's move last year to cancel two projects slated to serve the state. The cancellation dealt a major blow to Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy's climate and clean energy goals and raised serious questions about the future of offshore wind in the United States. Cindy Zipf uses her passion for science and advocacy to create campaigns and programs to drive public policy and reduce pollution. Since its beginning in 1984, she has been at the helm of COA, the lean, green, ocean pollution fighting machine that is the only full-time ocean advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to the NY and NJ region. She reviews and evaluates regional, state, and federal policies for impacts to marine water quality and, through science, research and education, works toward solutions for issues of concern. Cindy is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a B.A. in Geography and Marine Affairs with a special emphasis in marine science. In 1984 the waters off the NY/NJ coasts were known as the “Ocean Dumping Capitol of the World”, and in response, the Coalition was formed and consisted of 20 organizations. As a founder and a staff of one, Cindy has expanded the coalition to over 120 organizations and a professional staff of ten full-time employees.

CINDY ZIPF OF THE CLEAN OCEAN ACTION - CINDY JOINS DAWN LIVE TO BREAKDOWN THE NATIONAL NEWS AS ORSTED PULLS OUT OF THE WIND TURBINE WIND FARM PROJECT IN NJ - PHIL MURPHY FURIOUS - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN MOVING FORWARD? WILL THE ENVIRONMENTAL BASE REALIZE THIS IS DISRUPTING THE NATURAL HABITAT? VIA NY TIMES - Offshore Wind Firm Cancels N.J. Projects, as Industry's Prospects DimDenmark's Orsted said it would be forced to write off as much as $5.6 billion as wind developers in the U.S. faced wrenching financing costs. Plans to build two wind farms off the coast of New Jersey were scrapped, the company behind them said on Wednesday, a blow to the state's efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and the latest shakeout in the U.S. wind industry. The move, which will force Orsted, a Danish company, to write off as much as $5.6 billion, will crimp the Biden administration's plans to make the wind industry a critical component of plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. High inflation and soaring interest rates are making planned projects that looked like winners several years ago no longer profitable. “The world has in many ways, from a macroeconomic and industry point of view, turned upside down,” Mads Nipper, Orsted's chief executive, said on a call with reporters on Wednesday. The two projects, known as Ocean Wind 1 and 2, were destined to provide green energy to New Jersey. They were strongly backed by the state's governor, Phil Murphy, a Democrat with national ambitions who stresses his environmental credentials but who has lately drawn scorn for falling short in combating climate change. On Wednesday he suggested that Orsted was a dishonest broker and insisted that the “future of offshore wind” along the state's 130-mile coastline remained strong. Cindy Zipf uses her passion for science and advocacy to create campaigns and programs to drive public policy and reduce pollution. Since its beginning in 1984, she has been at the helm of COA, the lean, green, ocean pollution fighting machine that is the only full-time ocean advocacy organization dedicated exclusively to the NY and NJ region.

Wildlife conservationists must turn crime scene investigators (CSIs) to combat the illegal trade of rare species like sharks, rays and other rare animals. That's the view of a group of scientists from Atlantic Technological University (ATU), University of Salford and Liverpool John Moores University who specialised in finding the 'prints', residue and genetic material from animals killed indiscriminately by poachers and traders. It follows a new study in which illicit shark fin residues were clearly identified after simply dusting floors and surfaces in fishing landing and processing plants. "By adopting crime scene type methods, we uncovered evidence of twice as many species in a fraction of the time and effort it would take to sample fish in the factory," explained Stefano Mariani, professor of marine conservation at Liverpool John Moores University. Writing in the journal Conservation Letters, published July 19, 2023, the researchers sequenced trace DNA fragments retrieved from dust and scraps from seven processing plants in Java, Indonesia - the world's biggest shark landing nation. They metabarcoded the samples identifying 61 shark and ray taxa, more than half of which could not be recovered from individual tissue samples collected from the same sites. More than 80% were species listed as outlawed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Illegal fishing, unregulated bycatch and market demand for certain products (e.g. fins) are largely responsible for the rapid global decline of shark and ray populations. Globally, the shark fin trade is estimated to be worth up to $2 billion, with fins among the most expensive seafood products, commonly retailing at $600 per kg. But controlling the trade is difficult, not least because the meat is routinely hidden from inspectors. Normally, inspectors would need to find suspect parts of animals and painstakingly subsample them, which is a biased, lengthy, and cumbersome process for everyone involved. Instead, Professor Mariani and the team decided that by just 'sweeping' the floors and surfaces of those working environments would "capture" dust and scraps that harboured the overall diversity of animals that end up in the facilities. "Having the ability to effectively 'dust' a warehouse or a boat 'for fingerprints' is a major weapon in identifying wrongdoing and turning exploitation on a path to sustainability," said Dr Andhika Prasetyo, first author from the University of Salford. Dr Allan McDevitt, a lecturer in Marine and Freshwater Biology in the Atlantic Technological University, added, "This type of DNA-based monitoring could revolutionize how we track the illegal trade of wildlife worldwide, not just in sharks and rays. Being able to detect the DNA trace of an illegally traded animal after it has either been moved on or concealed could be a game-changer in tackling this global problem and conserving important biodiversity." The team's current activities are now focusing on making the technique fully portable so that results can be generated on the spot. The paper 'Shark-dust: Application of high-throughput DNA sequencing of processing residues for trade monitoring of threatened sharks and rays' is published in Conservation Letters and authored by Andika Prasetyo (University of Salford); Joanna M Murray (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft; Muh. Firdaus A K Kurniawan (Ministry for Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Indonesia); Naiara G Sales (University of Salford); Allan D McDevitt (Atlantic Technological University, Galway/University of Salford); Stefano Mariani (LJMU).

This episode focuses on rising sea levels and the implications for fishing communities and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries. With islands sinking below the waterline, EEZs increasingly disputed and fishers at risk of being displaced, will illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing become more prevalent? In Part Two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Beth Mendenhall, Assistant Professor in the Department of Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island, and Andreas Østhagen, Senior Researcher at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute in Oslo, to take a closer look at the complexities of maritime boundaries in the Arctic. --- Net Earth: The Environmental Security Podcast Season One In Hot Water: Illegal Fishing in a Warming World Illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing is a multifaceted global threat – one that harms aquatic ecosystems, human security and regional stability, and that stands to evolve significantly in a warming world. As fish numbers and distributions shift in a warming climate and as sea levels rise, interactions between humans and the aquatic environment will alter. With the climate emergency accelerating, our experts discuss the ways in which the IUU fishing landscape is changing, exploring topics such as polar ice melt, contested EEZ boundaries, vulnerable local livelihoods, ownership transparency and crime convergence.

Beagen is a seasoned maritime attorney and the founder of Squall Strategies, which is a boutique maritime consulting and legal solutions company and offers a wide range of consulting services to serve a variety of businesses and clients. In the podcast interview, Joe and Lauren discuss solving the port problem. The number of ships waiting to enter the biggest U.S. gateway for trade with Asia reached the highest since the pandemic began, exacerbating delays for companies trying to replenish inventories during one of the busiest times of the year for seaborne freight. The port problem first became noticeable in the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, the ports where the majority of shipments from Asia are received. Other ports around the USA have also seen delays and disruptions. The port problem was caused by the following factors: Increased demand by US consumers who went on a buying spree. Because restaurants were closed, vacation travel restricted, and many big purchases delayed because of pandemic-driven shortages – bored, house-bound consumers bought a lot of stuff that had to be made in Asia and shipped to America's West coast ports (Los Angeles and Long Beach). Consumer spending also received a bump from government money that was generously distributed during the first year of the pandemic. While American consumers went shopping, particularly online, the Asian factories and supply chains that produce the goods were broken due to labor and materials shortages. Access to vaccines, medical care, and family issues contributed to the shortages. Labor problems in the USA exacerbated the problem as people left the workforce in large numbers due to COVID infection, money from the government, homeschooling of children, and caring for family members. The port congestion may have also been caused by a lack of digitization and technology at the ports. The National Shipper Advisory Committee (NSAC) is a team made up of both public and private sectors organizations tasked with solving the port problems. The NSAC is led by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), which is the independent federal agency responsible for regulating the U.S. international ocean transportation system for the benefit of U.S. exporters, importers, and the U.S. consumer. The NSAC is actively working to identify and eliminate bottlenecks. The NSAC is also working on a number of initiatives to improve the ports including: demurrage/detention standards, data standards, transparency, and digitization. Lauren and the Squall Strategies team helps shippers and logistics providers navigate Federal Maritime Commission related issues (including FMC mock audit/review), federal regulatory reviews, advice and consultation on potential federal regulatory impacts, general maritime consulting, advice and consultation on demurrage, cargo movement and shipping insight, foreign tariff and trade expertise, and emerging markets and offshore wind analysis.

When you think of banking and the likes, you will immediately be brought into all sorts of imaginary scenarios. However, Pak Teddy's line of works challenged all the notions that we've (I've) ever had. As the Senior Vice President of Government & Institutional at Bank Mandiri, he works with the Ministry of State Owned Enterprises to oversee their project: 'BUMN Untuk Indonesia' as the mediator between the government, Bank Mandiri and other State Owned Enterprises to increase their productivity and efficiency. What impressed me most throughout the interview is that he is also involved with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, to name a few, in helping micro, small and medium enterprises across Indonesia. Helping farmers to increase their productivity to harvest thrice a year instead of one-increasing their yield from 5 tonnes of rice production to 9 tonnes, Rice Mill unit in Pamarican, supporting and driving fishermen to diversify their business unit from A-Z, etc. With his extensive background of thirty years in banking system, I do believe his passion in increasing productivities in all line of works, especially the SMEs, supported by the government as their shareholder have been and will continuously be flourished for years to come. Things looking positively good and we are hoping for the ripple effect as the result as well. A low key discussion with one of the humblest person I have ever had the chance to talk to. @inibukandiskusi

Despite being a minor contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, like many other small island nations, The Bahamas’s ecology and society are especially vulnerable to current and expected changes to the oceans and the climate. Spectacular coral reefs, low-lying islands, and a social life oriented towards the sea makes The Bahamas a posterchild of the existential dangers of global warming. At the same time, The Bahamas’s economy, firmly founded on tourism, also heavily depends upon airline and cruise line fossil fuel consumption. Wading into this nexus, Amelia Moore casts an ethnographic eye towards the scientists, conservationists, educators, politicians, fisherpeople, and tourism boosters who attempt to understand and react to an age of ecological volatility. In contrast to assumptions of scientific objectivity and independence, Moore finds that science, politics, and business are deeply entangled in ways that are not apolitical and which require scrutiny to make adaptations to climate change more democratic and equitable. Through prolonged research on the islands and well-paired case studies, Moore illuminates the ways that such adaptations do, can, and might not have to reproduce the inequalities inherited from colonialism and the age of fossil fuels. Destination Anthropocene: Science and Tourism in The Bahamas (University of California Press) is a stellar example of the significance and role of humanistic – and specifically ethnographic – inquiry regarding how climate change has, is, and will change human and human-nonhuman relations. Well-written and theoretically sophisticated without heavy jargon, Destination Anthropocene is a joy to read and very well suited for use in the classroom. Amelia Moore is Assistant Professor of Sustainable Coastal Tourism and Recreation in the Department of Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island. Lance C. Thurner teaches history at Rutgers Newark. His research and writing address the production of knowledge, political subjectivities, and racial and national identities in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Mexico. He is broadly interested in the pedagogical applications of the digital humanities and the methods and politics of applying a global perspective to the history of science and medicine.

Wading into this nexus, Amelia Moore casts an ethnographic eye towards the scientists, conservationists, educators, politicians, fisherpeople, and tourism boosters who attempt to understand and react to an age of ecological volatility. In contrast to assumptions of scientific objectivity and independence, Moore finds that science, politics, and business are deeply entangled in ways that are not apolitical and which require scrutiny to make adaptations to climate change more democratic and equitable. Through prolonged research on the islands and well-paired case studies, Moore illuminates the ways that such adaptations do, can, and might not have to reproduce the inequalities inherited from colonialism and the age of fossil fuels. Destination Anthropocene: Science and Tourism in The Bahamas (University of California Press) is a stellar example of the significance and role of humanistic – and specifically ethnographic – inquiry regarding how climate change has, is, and will change human and human-nonhuman relations. Well-written and theoretically sophisticated without heavy jargon, Destination Anthropocene is a joy to read and very well suited for use in the classroom. Amelia Moore is Assistant Professor of Sustainable Coastal Tourism and Recreation in the Department of Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island. Lance C. Thurner teaches history at Rutgers Newark. His research and writing address the production of knowledge, political subjectivities, and racial and national identities in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Mexico. He is broadly interested in the pedagogical applications of the digital humanities and the methods and politics of applying a global perspective to the history of science and medicine.

On this episode, Peter and Tyler catch up with Dr. David Bidwell, University of Rhode Island / Department of Marine Affairs to talk about the coming wind power boom along the Northeast shoreline of the U.S. David's been studying the emerging industry for years and has the pulse on the issue. Recent federal actions -- a NEPA review slowdown and new FERC rules that punish renewable power producers -- may not slow the inevitable outcome. Along the NE coast where dense urban communities line the shoreline, wind power is cheaper and more efficient than the old coal power plants. Europe is light years ahead of the U.S. when it comes to wind, dominating both the race to market and the technology to install and run the systems. Seems the U.S. is happy to bring up the rear these days but that is beginning to change.

This week I interview John Fulweiler on Admiralty Law. John has a lot of practical advice which is not only useful to the cruising sailor but this episode bookends nicely with my previous two episodes featuring Skip Strong and Twain Braden. John suggested I put a link to the relevant salvage law that may most precisely apply to cruising sailors (see below): SALCON 89 (The International Convention on Salvage 1989) Here it is: http://www.safesea.com/salvage/law/salcon_89.html Article 13 reads: Article 13 - Criteria for fixing the reward 1. The reward shall be fixed with a view to encouraging salvage operations, taking into account the following criteria without regard to the order in which they are presented below: the salved value of the vessel and other property; the skill and efforts of the salvors in preventing or minimizing damage to the environment; the measure of success obtained by the salvor; the nature and degree of the danger; the skill and efforts of the salvors in salving the vessel, other property and life; the time used and expenses and losses incurred by the salvors; the risk of liability and other risks run by the salvors or their equipment; the promptness of the services rendered; the availability and use of vessels or other equipment intended for salvage operations; the state of readiness and efficiency of the salvor's equipment and the value thereof. 2. Payment of a reward fixed according to paragraph 1 shall be made by all of the vessel and other property interests in proportion to their respective salved values. However, a State Party may in its national law provide that the payment of a reward has to be made by one of these interests, subject to a right of recourse of this interest against the other interests for their respective shares. Nothing in this article shall prevent any right of defence. 3. The rewards, exclusive of any interest and recoverable legal costs that may be payable thereon, shall not exceed the salved value of the vessel and other property.
