This book is aimed at protecting the indispensable yet fragile Arctic marine environment, with sustainable restoration strategies for the conservation of bioresources and revitalization of ecological services. From its opening chapters introducing the unique characteristics of Arctic marine life to its comprehensive exploration of the impact of contaminants on diverse species, it navigates the complex waters of Arctic marine toxicology. This book delves into the interplay between climate change and the fate of contaminants, analyzing the far-reaching impacts on the Earth’s life support systems. Finally, it illuminates the regulatory frameworks imperative for safeguarding these vulnerable ecosystems.

The book’s interdisciplinary approach encompasses biology, environmental science, toxicology, and conservation. It promotes a holistic understanding of the Arctic’s ecological intricacies and the challenges posed by anthropogenic perturbations occasioned by economically motivated human activities. It illustrates the sustainable mitigation of these anthropogenic disturbances through eco-friendly strategies. These strategies require international cooperation, robust regulations, and sustainable practices aimed at conserving the Arctic marine environment while balancing economic interests with ecological preservation.

Enriched with case studies, ethical considerations, and visionary perspectives, this book stands as an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and environmental stewards alike.
