Management challenges for the fastest growing marine shipping sector in Arctic Canada: Pleasure crafts
Changing environmental conditions in the Canadian Arctic are associated with an increase in marine tourism. A substantial decline in the extent of ice coverage in the summer season has resulted in greater accessibility for all categories of ships, and the tourism sector has been quick to respond to...
