Description
Summary:"This progress report is based on the work assigned to the PAME Working Group in close coordination with other Arctic Council working groups and related projects in an effort to promote the implementation and compliance of applicable international instruments and governmental commitments through increased coordination and collaboration and trends towards integrated approaches such as ecosystem approaches in addressing the challenges of coastal and marine environment. An integrated ecosystem approach to management requires that development activities be coordinated in a way that minimizes their impact on the environment and integrates thinking across environmental, socio-economic, political and sectoral realms." /./ Drafting Note: PAME through the United States as the lead country is continuing to edit and possibly restructure this draft report.
