Abstract
This report explores the concept of Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in the Arctic Marine Environment, highlighting the importance of recognizing conservation efforts other than protected areas to enhance biodiversity. The report offers an overview of international and national criteria for identifying OECMs and acknowledges the importance of Indigenous sustainable management practices, which in some cases may be identified as OECMs.
