This week, we found a photo of a student working on a small vessel from the late 1970s or possibly early 1980s. Students continue to work at the waterfront, performing maintenance on the many vessels at Maine Maritime Academy. With over 60 vessels afloat, there is plenty of sanding, painting, ...varnishing, and routine maintenance to go around. After training and qualification, students have access to the tools and resources they need to practice the skills taught in lectures and labs.

While Maine Maritime Academy graduate Bart Barnum ’06 was on campus last week as part of a visit from the National Transportation Safety Board, we took the opportunity to ask him about his career path and if he had any advice for current students.

Presentation abstract: The Arctic is at a tipping point. Climate change's negative... environmental impacts have significantly influenced the maritime environment and increased the demand for essential marine safety work including inspections of vessels and bulk oil facilities. Rising sea levels and increased storm intensity pose challenges for coastal infrastructure and safe navigation. Warmer waters and ocean acidification impact marine ecosystems, affecting the health, abundance, and migration of marine life, critical for global food security and biodiversity. Melting sea ice has altered shipping routes and increased risk of casualties in previously inaccessible regions leading to unprecedented environmental disasters. Climate-driven changes in ocean currents and sea level rise amplify the risk of severe storms, flooding, erosion, and pollution in coastal villages. Adaptation strategies and mitigation measures are essential to ensure the continued efficacy of marine safety work and protect the well-being of coastal communities and the marine environment.

This event has been sponsored by Maine Maritime Academy's Environmental Action Club.
