Arctic Marine Response Station Concludes Operational Season

The Canadian Coast Guard announced the closure of its Arctic Marine Response Station (AMRS) in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, which ended its operational season on October 22, 2024. The station's activities included search and rescue operations over 737 nautical miles and cultural education training, such as Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit. This marks a continued effort under Canada's Oceans Protection Plan to enhance maritime safety in Arctic waters, in collaboration with Indigenous communities. The AMRS, staffed by Indigenous Peoples, represents a key component of Canada's strategy to respond to marine emergencies and improve safety in the Arctic region.
