Navigating the North, An Assessment of the Environmental Risks of Arctic Vessel Traffic
Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Ocean Conservancy Genre: Research papers Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 82 Description: As seasonal sea ice diminishes and industrial activity in the Arctic grows, Arctic waters will experience increasing levels of vessel traffic. For example, transits of the Northern Sea Route — which connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via the Arctic waters north of Russia — increased dramatically from 2010 to 2013. While vessel traffic in many areas of the Arctic declined somewhat after 2014, it is anticipated to increase in future years. By 2025, vessel traffic through the Bering Strait is projected to increase anywhere from 100% to 500% relative to 2013 traffic levels.
