Abstract
The Workshop was held as part of the development of an Arctic Marine Strategic Plan for the

in ocean management and possible circumpolar responses to Arctic Ocean issues. The
meeting was co-chaired by Mr. John Karau (Canada) and Mr. Magnus Johannesson (Iceland)
and attended by a large number of representatives from government and northern
organizations.
The agenda for the Workshop is attached as Annex 1 and the list of participants is in Annex 2.
A series of background papers was prepared in advance of the Workshop and was presented
