The Arctic Ocean is one of the most extraordinary, unique and severely threatened regions in the global biosphere. The marine ecosystem supports more than 7,000 identified species, many of which ...

The 4th EMB Forum, recognized as an official ICARP III event, promotes the need for an ecosystem-based management approach in the Arctic Ocean, in order to adapt to and manage rapid environmental ...

Most of the sunlight reaching the Arctic Ocean is reflected by sea ice, shielding ocean ecosystems from light. As Arctic sea ice continues to melt, larger areas of the ocean and seafloor become ...

These changes threaten the fragile Arctic Ocean ecosystem that harbors polar bears, beluga whales, narwhals and a range of fish species, such as Arctic char and Greenland halibut.

In the Arctic Ocean, algae is manna from heaven. Clumps of the aquatic life drop from the sea ice to the ocean floor below, occasionally feeding otherworldly creatures that live there, like sea ...

For comparison, recent years have seen the Arctic Ocean with a minimum sea ice cover in September of around 1,274,000 square miles, ... with unknown impacts on the Arctic ecosystem.

For the Arctic Ocean, then, if increasing wildfires and the 2014 bloom are a sign of things to come, this higher flow of nutrients could transform Arctic ecosystems.

Over the past 25 years, the amount of summer Arctic sea ice has diminished by more than 1 million square kilometers. As a result, vast areas of the Arctic Ocean are now, on average, ice-free in ...

As Arctic sea ice melts, larger areas of the ocean become exposed to sunlight, allowing more photosynthesis to occur. However, this does not seem to be occurring uniformly. New research suggests that ...
