"You know, we have been talking today, a lot about the retreating sea ice creating opportunities for increased commerce in the Arctic."

"We have made an important step forward in the recently passed Coast Guard bill, which authorized a Coast Guard Center of Excellence to study and address the unique Great Lakes environment."

"The need for additional ice breakers in consideration of climate change impacts on ice cover and infrastructure challenges are shared between the Arctic and the Great Lakes."

"Simply put, we need more ice breakers to support commerce and keep mariners safe in the Arctic and in the Great Lakes."
