Canada’s Oceans Now: Arctic Ecosystems, 2023 gives new knowledge about the state of marine ecosystems in the Canadian Arctic. The report was generated by a team of co-authors from Arctic communities and Inuit organizations, academia, non-government organizations, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
This report is based on information detailed in the Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 3633, State of Canada's Arctic Seas. The information presented reflects improved ways of understanding and learning about Arctic marine ecosystems. The current status of the environment, habitats, species, and food webs is discussed. This report highlights advancements in knowledge of biodiversity (who is there), habitat condition (how ecosystems are structured and used), and processes that affect habitat and species responses (why variability and change are occurring).
