Radio Canada quoted Michael Byers, a UBC professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law, for a story on luxury cruise ship travelling through the Arctic.
The liner Crystal Serenity began the voyage from Alaska on Aug. 16 and is now about halfway through the trip.
”When I think about the prospect of dozens of large cruise ships sailing through the Canadian Arctic each summer, I worry. I worry about the impact of a possible oil spill. I worry about the impact of ship noise on marine mammals like whales and walrus,” he said.
