Abstract
The April 2009 Arctic Council meeting in Tromso, Norway is expected to adopt and
approve the release of the Arctic Council’s Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment Report
(AMSA). There is currently significant and mounting national (eight arctic states),
regional (circumpolar) and global interest in the outcome of this four year PAME
initiative.
The April 2009 high level meeting is also expected to adopt several other reports
concerning the protection and use of the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas. These other
reports include:Arctic Council Oil and Gas Assessment, Offshore Oil and Gas
Guidelines, Regional Programme of Action for the Protection of Arctic Marine
Environment From Land-based Activities, Best Practices in Ecosystem-based Ocean
Management in the Arctic (BePOMAr) technical background report and Progress Report
on Application of the Ecosystem/LME Approach.
This Communications Plan sets out how the Arctic Council, through the Senior Arctic
Officials, the Permanent Participants and the Protection of the Arctic Marine
Environment Working Group in cooperation with the other Working Groups, Observer
Organizations and other bodies will manage communications related to the release of
AMSA.
