The Task Force on Arctic Marine Cooperation (TFAMC, Task Force I), that worked in 2015-2017 was established with the general aim of enhancing Arctic marine cooperation. During the cause of discussions in the Task Force the focus became to enhance marine cooperation under the umbrella of the Arctic Council.
