DESCRIPTION:MANAGING MARINE RISKS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Canada is a 
 maritime nation whose prosperity relies on maritime trade. This is 
 particularly evident on the west coast\, in which most of our links with 
 the Indo-Pacific area are situated. The developing energy trade to this 
 region from BC is adding to the complexity of a marine environment that is
  already full with diverse and sometimes competing interests. The success 
 with which increasingly varied users will access the marine environment 
 will depend largely on the manner in which they each understand and 
 practise risk management. NIBC proposes for our 2017 conference to address
  the importance of marine risk management in the Pacific North-west 
 region. This topic affords several avenues of approach\, from theoretical 
 and academic to practical and operational: How do we teach mariners and 
 industrial partners to recognize risk\, and to learn from failure to 
 anticipate known and unknown risks? What is the role of simulation in 
 exploring the boundaries of risk? How do we define tolerable risk 
 &hellip\;and answer those who would advocate &ldquo\;zero-risk&rdquo\; 
 policies? When misfortune does arise\, how do we act to minimize impact 
 and honour (not criminalize) those who have done their best in a bad 
 situation? And what is the role of policy\, regulation and technology in 
 risk mitigation? This topic aligns with the strategic priorities of the 
 Nautical Institute&rsquo\;s Five-Year Plan in these subject areas: 
 Navigation safety\, Competency\, Mentoring\, Command\, Usability of 
 systems\, and Manning/Fatigue. This topic could be addressed in four 
 sessions over two days as follows (to be refined into specific session 
 structures of briefs and panel discussions depending on speakers): Define 
 the subject\, provide historical and anticipated context for the PNW 
 marine industry Examine theoretical and practical structures/processes of 
 risk assessment and mitigation\; interpretation and application by 
 different sectors of the marine industry in the PNW Training &amp\; 
 Command responsibility: how do we train to recognize and avoid risk? 
 Dealing with adverse outcomes\, operational and legal considerations\; 
 public communications/addressing disinformation
