The Cook Inlet Harbor Safety Committee (CIHSC) was established in 2015 based on a recommendation from the Cook Inlet Navigational Risk Assessment and the desire in the maritime community to have a productive forum for marine safety issues specific to Cook Inlet, Alaska.
The mission of the CIHSC is to enhance marine safety and environmental stewardship through collaboration of the maritime community and other stakeholders. The purpose of the CIHSC is to provide a forum for identifying, assessing, planning, communicating, and implementing operational and environmental practices beyond statutory and regulatory requirements that promote safe, efficient, and environmentally sound maritime operations in the Cook Inlet.
