Protect This Winter Wonderland

The Central Arctic Ocean, 1.1 million square miles of international waters surrounding the North Pole, lies at the heart of the Arctic. Yet until sea ice began its unprecedented retreat, it was completely covered in ice year-round.  

With this change comes new threats and new opportunities. Industries like commercial fishing, deep-sea mining and shipping are looking to take advantage of this new landscape. But if we act quickly, we have the opportunity to protect the Central Arctic Ocean before the industries get a foothold. We must prioritize protection over exploitation.  

Safeguarding these waters is essential for the wellbeing of future generations and the planet. Protect the Central Arctic Ocean: Demand international protection of this global treasure.
