Observing Protocols Observers are requested to provide observations of unusual environmental events related to known or suspected impacts from shipping in Alaska waters. Observations can include content collected using LEO APP including date, time, location (GPS), observer, images of the event and observer description about the event, background and location implications. Video can also be submitted via email to essmith@anthc.org.
