US and Canadian Coast Guards came together in Juneau this week to sign the newly revised Dixon Entrance Annex to the national Canada-United States Joint Marine Pollution Contingency Plan. The updated annex includes basic content and format changes in accordance with new national guidelines, clearer pollution notification and response protocols, and refreshed references to U.S. Customs Service procedures for transboundary movement of personnel and resources. It also incorporates organizational changes within the two Coast Guards.
