Publisher Description
Introduction Arctic sea-ice is melting at unprecedented rates (Johanessen 2004, Strove et al. 2007), bringing dramatic change and uncertainty to northern peoples (Berkes et al. 2001). As the ice continues to melt, new shipping routes, fisheries and offshore non-renewable resource deposits are becoming more accessible to development. At the same time climate change is rapidly altering ecosystems and food webs (Moore and Huntington 2008, Mueter and Litzow 2008). These ecological changes, in combination with increasing human activity, will have profound impacts on coastal indigenous peoples throughout the Arctic (Hovelsrud et al. 2008).
