Delegates to discuss concerns and actions that address the issue of marine environment protection.

The North American Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA) will be hosting a seminar next week entitled "Environmental Intelligence in Shipping", to be held on March 9th at the Marine Memorial Club in San Francisco, United States.

The March seminar will focus on three areas of concern to the marine community, both the commercial maritime industry and conservationists:

—Air Emissions: Challenges and Issues

—Wreck Waste Removal Programs

—Noise Emissions from maritime Activities

The Seminar will begin at 0800 with coffee and registration, and conclude with a luncheon and keynote address by VADM Jody Breckenridge, USCG Commander for the Pacific Area.
