Protecting the Arctic
The Arctic is among the most spectacularly beautiful places on the planet—and one of the most remote. People have made their homes in this harsh region for millennia, and residents of Arctic coastal communities continue to rely on a healthy ocean to sustain a traditional way of life and as a vital source of food security.
