Abstract
Within Canada, the Federal Government has initiated a discussion on the application of the precautionary approach in a number of high risk areas, including marine transportation. The authors believe that the application of the precautionary approach in the maritime sector implies a more rigorous risk assessment for policy initiatives than is currently required. Given the fundamental changes occurring in the Canadian maritime regulatory system; the rapid proliferation of new technology, and the desire to expand shipping activities into remote and pristine areas, the scientific and academic communities can play a vital role in guiding policymakers in their application of the precautionary approach to shipping.
