The advantages and prospects of integrated geoinformation mapping of marine ecosystems are obvious in light of the intensive development of GIS cartography over the past 20 years. The feasibility of using geoinformation technologies in the study of marine areas is determined by their effective use for analyzing the relationships between complex geographical phenomena and processes in complex marine ecosystems and developing an algorithm for zoning ecosystems based on all available thematic information. This work presents the developed methodology for geoinformation mapping of the Arctic seas as an example of the use of geoinformation technologies for monitoring the state of marine ecosystems. The proposed methodology for marine geo-ecological mapping on a scale of 1:5 million-1:20 million is intended primarily for environmental institutions involved in the design of environmental maps and the implementation of environmental control and monitoring of sea basins. Maps compiled using this method can serve as the basis for solving problems of modeling the dynamics of marine ecosystems in an area of particularly intense anthropogenic impact (for example, on the shelf and oil production sites). info:eu-repo/semantics/published
