Living resources in the sea are essential to economic, nutritional, recreational, and health needs of billions people. Variation biodiversity that characterizes marine systems, which underlies numerous ecosystem services provided humans, is being rapidly altered by changing environmental factors human activity. Understanding underlying causes these patterns, forecasting where future changes likely occur, requires monitoring patterns organism abundance, diversity, distribution health;...
Marine plastic is a ubiquitous environmental problem that can have an impact on variety of marine biota, such as seabirds, making it important concern for scientists and policy makers. Although research ingestion by seabirds increasing, few studies examined policies long-term monitoring programs to reduce in the Arctic. This paper provides review international, national, regional address relation Arctic countries: Canada, Kingdom Denmark (Greenland Faroe Islands), Finland, Iceland, Norway,...
Concerns about the impact of plastics pollution on environment have been growing since 1970s. Marine debris has reportedly entangled and (or) ingested by 914 marine species ranging from microinvertebrates to large mammals. Shorebirds a high potential be exposed ingest pollution, as many migrate long distances periodically concentrate around shorelines, coastal areas, estuaries that can elevated levels pollution. Currently, little is understood exposure, frequency occurrence (FO), impacts...
Abstract Some of the most rapidly changing ecosystems on our planet are located in polar regions (IPCC 2007; Turner et al. 2009; SWIPA 2011). In some areas Arctic and Antarctic, atmospheric temperatures rising at rates more than double global average. addition, there other direct human impacts such as pollution, exploitation development. Polar biodiversity they support already responding to this change it is expected that even profound will occur century. Compounding risk fact many have...
The Arctic Council is an intergovernmental forum promoting cooperation, coordination and interaction among states, indigenous communities, peoples on issues of common importance. rising geo-political importance the onset climate change has resulted in becoming a focus increasing interest from both inside beyond Arctic. This new demands placed Council, attracting number participants, instigating period transformation as states work to find way balance conflicting improve Council’s...
Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity across the Arctic, one of planet’s most rapidly warming regions. Studies from southern latitudes have revealed that ecological impacts extreme on living organisms can be severe long-lasting, yet data evidence within terrestrial Arctic biome appear underrepresented. By synthesizing a total 48 research articles, published over past 25 years, we highlight occurrence wide variety throughout with multiple divergent local biota....
This paper provides an update on the 2017 status of Arctic protected areas.It overview and trends extent areas in area-based conservation measures including World Heritage Sites wetlands.This uses International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN) definition which includes a wide range Management Categories -from strict nature reserve to protection with sustainable use.Consequently, level governance these varies throughout circumpolar region.As 2021, 20.77 per cent Arctic's terrestrial area...
Protected areas have long been viewed as a key element for maintaining and conserving Arctic biodiversity the functioning landscapes upon which species depend. in are...
The Arctic Council working group, the Conservation of Flora and Fauna (CAFF) established Circumpolar Biodiversity Monitoring Programme (CBMP), an international network scientists, governments, Indigenous organizations, conservation groups to harmonize integrate efforts extend develop monitoring assessment Arctic’s biodiversity. Its relevance stretches beyond a broad range regional global initiatives agreements. This paper describes process approach taken in last two decades implement CBMP....
