Abstract
Joint Advisory from the Arctic Regional Hydrographic Commission and the Arctic Council’s Working Group on the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment entitled "Caution Required When Navigating in Arctic Waters".
This 2026 advisory serves as a critical update to the original cautionary note issued by the ARHC in 2017. The updated note reflects significant shifts in the region, specifically addressing the challenges posed by a rapidly changing Arctic, the emergence of new maritime routes, and a steady increase in vessel traffic.
