Seven Korean journalists participated in the tour to cover the Coast Guard's SONS exercise. This is a National Tier Two exercise which happens every three years and includes the states of Maine and New Hampshire and Shell Oil. It rehearses the communication and procedures of a large oil spill and excercises cleanup and environmental actions.
