The paper examines the environmental and legal problems of rational nature management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation being based on an analysis of the works by Russian and foreign scientists. The main ecological and legal directions for the development of rational nature management in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, such as (1) the creation of transboundary specially protected natural areas and an increase in the number of national ones; (2) elimination of objects of accumulated harm to the environment, within the framework of which not only the object of accumulated harm itself is disposed, but measures are taken to improve ecological systems; (3) development of aquaculture. It is shown that the development of legal support and management decisions in the field of rational environmental management in the Arctic should be based on coordinated actions of all Arctic states and on the ecosystem approach.
