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
