About the Book

The pace of technological, social, and environmental change in Canada's Arctic has profound effects on its management and policy decisions. The fifteen papers in this volume result from a project undertaken by the Oceans Management Research Network that examines carefully the nature of Acrtic environmental evolution and sustainability. From the pressures of development, technological advances, globalization and climate change to social and cultural life, this book attempts to define the nature of competing demands and assess their impact on the environment. These essays provide a detailed examination of ocean management in the Canadian north, exploring a wide range of issues critical to environmental stewardship.
