The newly released book The Business of Shipping (2018, 9th edition), written by SUNY Maritime College Professor Ira Breskin, is a timely and comprehensive analysis of a dynamic industry that enables global markets.
NAMEPA took on the issue of marine debris 10 years ago as a way to reach and educate the public to “Save our Seas”. More recently, we helped promote the idea of reducing the use of straws. How does this affect the maritime industry? As the public awareness and advocacy of environmental issues grows, they will be looking at industry’s that do not seem to be reducing their impact on the environment. It is important that shipping be seen as proactive in this regard, or the “power of the public” will turn to us.
The North American Marine Environment Protection Association has announced that its newest educational resource, the Marine Industry Learning Guide, is now available for free download. This guide was created for anyone looking to educate others on the marine industry, whether in a formal or non-formal setting. It provides activities to increase awareness of the marine industry and the industry's dedication to the health and safety of its crew, the environment and its fleet.
