| Summary: | The Pechora Sea and Pechora river are parts of the Barents Sea located in the Russian Arctic. The unique environment of the Pechora Sea ecosystems should be maintained and protected for nature conservation. However, the negative impacts caused by the excessed anthropogenic activities cause serious environmental consequences. Current paper reported geographic characteristics of this geographic area, detailed some of the current environmental challenges and contributed to the monitoring of the vulnerable Russia Arctic region. Among all Arctic seas, the Barents Sea is singled out for its unique environment and its high biodiversity. At the same time, parts of the Gulf Stream current transfers its waters directly into this area bringing along different contaminants from Northern Sea. P. Lemenkova.
