Through 24\/7 monitoring and proactive sea traffic management, the Arctic Watch Operations Center, operated by the Marine Exchange of Alaska (MXAK) serves as an information hub to collect and broadcast critical data including real-time weather reports and vessel locations using MXAK\u2019s strategically placed Marine Safety Sites. Marine Safety Sites consist of Automatic Identification System (AIS) receivers, AIS transceivers (ATONs), weather sensors, VHF-FM voice transceivers, Digital Selective Calling transceivers, and ocean and tidal current sensors.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, through partnerships and communications with Arctic communities, Alaska Native tribal governments, and state and federal agencies, MXAK receives and shares information on local maritime and cultural activities including areas that should be avoided due to the presence of marine mammals. This information is transmitted to vessel operators to minimize the potential for adverse environmental impacts and marine casualties.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-div x-container max width e7590-e18 m5uu-0 m5uu-2 m5uu-7 m5uu-b m5uu-c\"><a class=\"x-anchor x-anchor-button e7590-e19 m5uu-q\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/arcticwatch.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><div class=\"x-anchor-content\"><div class=\"x-anchor-text\"><span class=\"x-anchor-text-primary\">Learn More<\/span><span class=\"x-anchor-text-secondary\">Visit ArcticWatch.org<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"x-div x-container max width e7590-e20 m5uu-0 m5uu-2 m5uu-7 m5uu-b m5uu-d\"><div class=\"x-frame x-frame-video-player e7590-e21 m5uu-r m5uu-s\"><div class=\"x-frame-inner\"><div class=\"x-video x-video-player\" data-x-element-mejs=\"{&quot;poster&quot;:&quot;7594:full&quot;,&quot;options&quot;:{&quot;pause_out_of_view&quot;:false}}\"><video class=\"x-mejs\" poster=\"https:\/\/www.mxak.org\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Untitled-1@1x_1.png\" preload=\"metadata\" options=\"\"><source src=\"https:\/\/www.mxak.org\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Arctic-Watch_2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arctic Watch Employ technology, communications and local expertise to enhance safe, secure, and environmentally responsible maritime operations in Alaska&#8217;s Arctic waters.What is Arctic Watch?
