“…Летом воды Северного Ледовитого океана привлекают мигрирующие виды, морское биоразнообразие в Арктике -уникальное, что объясняется способностями видов адаптироваться к экстремальным условиям среды [33]. Лишь некоторые ученые полагают, что особенности арк тического биоразнообразия преувеличены в глобальном контексте [34], хотя признается, что морские живые ресурсы Арк тики, в том числе генетические, представляют большую экономическую, социальную, медицинскую ценность для мира [35]. Северный Ледовитый океан, становясь все более свободным ото льда, востребован как пространство новых исследований и бизнес-проектов именно в силу региональной специфики [11].…”

The paper examines possible mechanisms for states to manage genetic resources in the Arctic Ocean in the general context of internationally agreed norms on the conservation of biological diversity and the increasing attention of states to the degradation of the world ocean ecosystems. The main attention is paid to the cumulative consideration of the rules on marine living resources, including genetic ones, which are provided for in the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, as well as its 2000 and 2010 Protocols. The entry into force of the UN Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction is being assessed as a long-term perspective. The authors provide arguments in favor of implementing a regional or bilateral mechanism for managing Arctic marine genetic resources.

“…Although existing international law (e.g., UNCLOS and the UN's Convention on Biological Diversity) allow for the creation of the High Arctic marine protected area, some commentators suggest a regional agreement on MPAs in the ABNJ would be the most effi cient legal instrument in dealing with this matter, and the Arctic Council could play a leading role in this. 108 Accordingly, "though no regional sea management organization exists within the Arctic, the Arctic Council might serve as a venue for the creation of similar regional organizations to facilitate MPA creation within an ABNJ." 109 But this instrument would be mandatory for all Arctic states and other parties that decide to accede to this treaty, plus a regional legal instrument of that kind could be "more politically expedient compared to a UNCBD [United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity] additional protocol or an UNCLOS [Law of the Sea] implementing agreement."…”

“…102 For ABNJ in the Arctic Ocean, the question of whether there is a need for protection of marine biodiversity has been raised. 103 Environmental protection, tailored to create a network of MPAs located within the national jurisdiction of the Arctic States, is already in focus through the work of the Arctic Council. The Council has developed a guidance document, establishing a "Framework for a Pan-Arctic Network of Marine Protected Areas".…”

Marine Spatial Planning – Prospects for the Arctic

Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) is defined as an integrated and comprehensive approach to ocean governance. Planning has the potential to ensure ecosystem and biodiversity conservation and establish rational use of marine space, combining activities relating to extraction industries, maritime transport, fisheries and related services and infrastructure. This article looks at what part transnational and national marine spatial planning can play in the Arctic. There is no international convention on marine spatial planning, and there are no requirements under international law that marine plans, as such, should be prescribed by law. MSP-regulation in different jurisdictions is diversified. It is difficult to claim that the international rights and obligations of a state under UNCLOS, CBD or regional instruments such as OSPAR, need to be fulfilled through the instrument of marine spatial planning. The comprehensive EU approach to marine planning is thus of particular interest. The EU members Denmark, Finland and Sweden do not have coastlines bordering the Arctic. EU has no direct influence over the regulation of marine spatial planning in Arctic marine areas through its relationship to Greenland or Norway, states with a close connection to the EU. The status of marine spatial planning in the European Arctic is thus dependent on the policies of Norway, Greenland and Russia. It is an open question whether spatial planning will be used for preventive and precautionary purposes in the Arctic, before the area is overwhelmed by marine activities and spatial conflicts.
