Summary In this atlas, we present a series of views of the Canadian Arctic marine environment, from physical geography, to biology and ecology, and on to human patterns and administration. The intent is to provide an introduction to what makes the region special, why it matters, and why it is worth the effort to govern it responsibly. This is especially true in a time of rapid climate and environmental change. In each theme covered by the atlas, we provide several examples of key species, phenomena, or activities that help show the growth of our understanding of an ecosystem, as well as why that knowledge is important.
Local Relevance This atlas presents a series of views of the Canadian Arctic marine environment, much of which is in the NWT.
