Higher temperatures, retreating sea ice, increasing acidity, and many other vectors of change redefine conditions of biological life, ecological structures, and socioeconomic opportunities in the high north. Direct impacts on Arctic marine resources, in particular fish stocks, can benefit fishing and related activities, but indirect and systemic effects are less investigated. Assessing the impacts of climate change on the oceans, marine ecosystems, and communities that depend on them is a complex problem that requires convergence research – intimate collaboration between multiple scientific disciplines – to improve our ability to understand the pathways and effects of change. We propose a research project that seeks to uncover pathways of climate-driven change in Arctic marine resources by applying a framework for integrated ecosystem-based management. The proposed project will combine insights from a series of case studies to identify priorities for integrated ocean management in the Arctic.
We aim to study impacts of climate change on fish, shellfish and their fisheries in the extended Arctic, which includes the Barents, Nordic and Bering Seas. We focus specially on biological and economic productivity changes, resilience of ocean resource management systems, and international governance. We will strengthen and complement the existing interdisciplinary approach on ecosystem-based fisheries management towards 1) a pan-Arctic perspective on Arctic marine resources under climate change and 2) understanding inherent complexities arising from the increasingly intertwined interactions between society and the natural environment it uses for its support. The project we propose leverages existing knowledge to support integrated ecosystem-based management of Arctic marine resources in the climate casino.
