Third International Conference on Ecosystem Approach to Management in the Arctic Large Marine Ecosystems

This conference will exchange current lessons and best practices for the implementation of Ecosystem-based Management (EBM) in the Arctic and examine how these practices reflects the knowledge, the goals, the advise, and the voices of the people living in and from the Arctic. And explore pathways toward a future with a holistic perspective in managing the regions fast changing marine ecosystem.

Through three sessions, that encapsulate different parts of the EBM, organizers invite:

• Keynote speakers to inspire and challenge us
• Scientists, early career scientists, students (and youth) to present their fields of study (or questions)
• Indigenous Knowledge holders to share and provide guidance based on their cultural values, worldviews, and perspectives
• Governing bodies to disentangle the challenges of cross-sectorial approaches and explore how they can contribute to apply holistic ecosystem knowledge to decisions, management, and operations in an evolving Arctic.
