Description
This report presents the results of the GIWA assessment
of the Barents Sea region – one of the largest shallow continental
shelf seas in the world and the most productive sea within the
Arctic Ocean. Overexploitation of fish stocks and modification
of the ecosystem caused by the invading Red king crab and other
alien species have severely affected Barents Sea habitats. Policy
options addressing the root causes of these problems are presented
along with a discussion of the management of the large quantities
of nuclear wastes stored in the area.
