    This work from the U.S. Coast Guard Art Program 2014 Collection, "Arctic Strategy‚" ID# 201428, underscores how the Coast Guard works closely with other agencies to address the challenges and opportunities created by the retreat of the Arctic ice cap. With new opportunities for transportation, exploration and exploitation of the area's resources, navigation and accurate weather forecasting are becoming key issues. Here the crew of a Coast Guard buoy tender performs maintenance on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather buoy off the coast of Alaska.
