Looking ahead to the future of the Arctic, the Task Force conducted a systematic assessment of the Arctic States' needs for cooperative mechanisms to achieve the strategic goals set by Arctic Council Ministers, including progress toward implementing an ecosystem-based approach to management. The Task Force on Arctic Marine Cooperation was established by Arctic Council Ministers at their Iqaluit meeting in 2015. Having compared and contrasted the Arctic Council's approach to marine stewardship with regional marine cooperation around the world, the Task Force identified a range of needs and opportunities for enhancing and strengthening the Council's role in Arctic marine stewardship.
