INTRODUCTION: ARCTIC NEWS HIGHLIGHTS According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2017 Arctic Report Card, while 2017 did not shatter as many records as 2016, the Arctic shows no sign of returning to the reliably frozen region it was decades ago.1 Arctic temperatures continue to increase at double the global rate.2 2017 marked the end of the United States’ chairmanship of the Arctic Council and the beginning of another term for Finland. At the May 11, 2017 Fairbanks Ministerial hosted by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson – the first ministerial in which all eight member states were represented by their Foreign Ministers – the Arctic Council member states adopted the Fairbanks Declaration and the Agreement on Enhancing International Arctic Scientific Cooperation, the council’s third legally binding agreement. The purpose of the Agreement is “to enhance cooperation in Scientific Activities in order to increase effectiveness and efficiency in the development of scientific knowledge about the Arctic.”3 During its two-year chairmanship Finland intends to emphasize the implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change and the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) while working to strengthen Arctic cooperation and its continuity at the highest political level. * Craig H.

A sign, perhaps, of waning Arctic interest, two media sources of Arctic reporting and analysis ceased publication in 2017. Alaska Dispatch News (ADN.com) filed for bankruptcy on August 13, 2017. Its assets were acquired by new owners who rebranded the publication as Anchorage Daily News. New York-based digital media project Arctic Deeply ceased publication on September 15, 2017. Calling the move a “transition,” the announcement indicated that Arctic-related news would be included in the Oceans Deeply newsletter service. 5 Arctic Council Ministerial The United States hosted the Arctic Council’s 10th Ministerial in Fairbanks, Alaska, from May 10-11, 2017. Ministers representing the eight Arctic States, joined by representatives of the six Permanent Participant organizations, adopted the 20-page, 46-point Fairbanks Declaration.6 The Declaration addressed: Arctic Ocean Safety, Security and Stewardship, Improving Economic and Living Condition, Addressing the Impacts of Climate Change, and Strengthening the Arctic Council. 4.

ENVT’L L. & POL’Y [Vol. 8:1 Senior Arctic Officials Meetings Under the U.S. Arctic Council chairmanship, the Senior Arctic Officials met twice in 2017: in Juneau, Alaska from March 7-9, 2017, and in Anchorage, Alaska from May 8-9, 2017. Under Finland’s chairmanship, the SAOs met from October 25-26, 2017 in Oulu, Finland. Arctic Scientific Cooperation The Arctic Council member States adopted the Agreement on Enhancing International Arctic Scientific Cooperation at the May 11, 2017 Ministerial in Fairbanks, Alaska. It is the Council’s third binding agreement. Arctic Ice Conditions: Older sea ice tends to be thicker, stronger, and better able to bounce back from unfavorable conditions. In 2017, these ice cover continued to be relatively young and thin with older, thicker ice comprising only 21percent of the ice cover in 2017 compared to 45 percent in 1985. The winter ice maximum on March 7, 2017was the lowest on record (which goes back to 1979), eight percent lower than the average ice maximum between 1981 and 2010. Arctic sea ice extent for December 2017 averaged 4.54 million square miles, the second lowest in the 1979 to 2017 satellite record.7 Arctic Climate Conditions: The average surface air temperature for the reporting year ending September 2017 was the second warmest since 1900; however, cooler spring and summer temperatures contributed to a rebound in snow cover in the Eurasian Arctic, slower summer sea ice loss, and below-average melt extent for the Greenland ice sheet.8 Sea temperatures are climbing: surface temperatures in the Barents and Chukchi Sea are 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit above the average.9 Vegetation and greening is taking over tundra, accompanying record permafrost thawing.10 U.S. Oil and Gas Activities 7.

On Jan. 9, 2018, the U.S. Energy Information Administration published its Short-Term Energy Outlook, forecasting Brent crude to average around $60 a barrel in 2018 and $61 in 2019.11 On January 17, 2017—three days before leaving office— Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell approved a 2017-2022 OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program and issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Under the Obama Administration program, some 94 percent of the OCS, including all of the federal OCS lease areas in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, were to be off limits for oil and gas leasing.12 Upon taking office on January 20, 2017, the Trump Administration announced that it would revisit the decision. On January 4, 2018, Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke announced a draft National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program (National OCS Program) for 2019-2024, which proposes to make over 90 percent of the total OCS acreage and more than 98 percent of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources in federal offshore areas under consideration for future exploration and development.13 In February 2017 Sweden’s Lundin Petroleum announced it had found an estimated 35 million to 100 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) in the Norwegian Barents Sea.14 The prospect — known as Filicudi — could contain up to 700 million barrels.

    DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL SPILL: USING MICROCOSMS TO STUDY EFFECTS OF CRUDE OIL IN COASTAL SEDIMENTS by ERIKA KRISTINE RENTSCHLER DR. RONA J. DONAHOE, COMMITTEE CHAIR DR. YUEHAN LU DR. GEOFFREY TICK DR. PATRICIA SOBECKY A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geological Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Erika Kristine Rentschler 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Approximately 4.9 million gallons of crude oil traveled with ocean currents to reach the Gulf coast after the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig explosion. Microcosm experiments were conducted to determine how oil contamination affects the concentration and distribution (between solid and aqueous phases) of trace elements in a salt marsh environment. Sediment and seawater from a salt marsh at Bayou La Batre, Alabama, were measured into jars and spiked with 500 ppm MC-252 oil. The solid phase and aqueous samples were analyzed by ICP-OES, ICP- MS, and IC. A second experiment was conducted using various concentrations (0 ppm, 10 ppm, 100 ppm, 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 2500 ppm) of MC252 oil. ICP-OES data show variations in aqueous elemental concentrations occurred over the 14 day experiment. The pH for the water in the experiments ranged from 6.93 to 8.06. Significant positive correlations (r>0.75) were found in the solid phase samples between iron and the following elements: aluminum, cobalt, chromium, and nickel. Aqueous iron concentrations were highly correlated (r>0.75) with solution pH. The presence of iron oxide and clays in the salt marsh sediment indicates potential for adsorption of trace elements sourced from the environment and from crude oil contamination.

Not only must the department take action to ensure that fish and marine mammal resources of the North are protected from the various forms of industrial encroachment and are not over-exploited, but it also has a responsibility for producing adequate marine navigation charts for northern waters as well as acquiring the necessary marine science expertise to advise industry and other government departments in many critical areas. The following pages provide a summary of DFO's activities north of 60° during the fiscal year 1979-80, and preview activities for 1980-81. This text will appear as part of the annual publication "Government Activities in the North", produced by the Advisory Committee on Northern Development. GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE NORTH - 1979-80 Department of Fisheries and Oceans Responsibilities The department is responsible for fisheries research and management throughout the Canadian North, drawing its authority from several acts, including the significant Fisheries Act. The department implements oceanographic and hydrographic programs and coordinates ocean policies and programs of the federal government. Organization and responsibilities with respect to Fisheries Arctic fisheries management occurs under two regions, the Pacific (Yukon) and the Western (NWT).

    Shadow Risks and Disasters∗

    Shadow Risks and Disasters Dylan Minor Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University January 2014 PRELIMINARY– Please do not cite without permission. Abstract We explore the relationship between incentives and Shadow Risks– those risks that are not easily measured by common financial measures and yet can lead to major adverse events. Theoretically, increased risk-taking is non- monotonic in higher powered executive compensation. However, for those settings where risky failures are high-stakes– e.g., environmental disasters and accounting scandals– the relationship is positive. We test these predictions for environmental and financial accounting failures of large US firms and find that changing CEO equity compensation from 100% stocks to 100% options can increases the odds of law breaking by 40-60% and the magnitude of events by over 100%. The effectiveness of policies such as Sarbanes-Oxley and FAS123R in reducing Shadow Risk-taking are discussed.

WBIANA 47408-3186 the Commons", Boda, 24. - 28. May 1995 Session: Enforcement and Control in Marine Fisheries THE ROLE OF THE NORWEGIAN COAST GUARD IN CONTROL MANAGEMENT: DISCURSE OR GUNS? I By Geir B. H0nneland NORUT Social Science Research Ltd., Troms0, Norway 1. Introduction1 In keeping with the tradition from Garrett Hardin's The Tradedy of the Commons (1968), controlling the harvesting of natural resources has been viewd as an element of I power utilization: Authorities survey the observance of regulations in order to punish violators. This paper includes another aspect of enforcement in marine fisheries. Control bodies may reach their goal of preserving the resource basis by seeking to increase the legitimacy of fishery regulations among fishermen. The traditional view of enforcement implies a control activity based on coercion, where fishermen are threatened by economic sanctions if revealed in violation. An enforcement based on discursive actions, 1 More elaborated accounts of the questions raised in this paper, are given in Norwegian language in H0nneland (1993 and 1995). 1 on the other hand, seeks to influence fishermen's behaviour by appealing to their reason and their trust in the righteousness of regulations. These theoretic approaches will be further elaborated in the first part of this paper. Subsequently, a brief outline is given of the organization of fisheries control in the Barents Sea, as well as the jurisdictional and management framework it operates within. In the last part of the paper, relevant tendencies in the violation statistics of the Norwegian Coast Guard is presented, and this empirical material is discussed in view of the theoretical focus of the paper.

Cephalopods are key species of the eastern Arctic marine food web, both as prey and predator. Their presence in the diets of Arctic fish, birds and mammals Correspondence illustrates their trophic importance. There has been considerable research on Terry A. Dick, Biological Sciences, University cephalopods (primarily Gonatus fabricii) from the north Atlantic and the west of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2, side of Greenland, where they are considered a potential fishery and are taken Canada. E-mail: [email protected] as a by-catch. By contrast, data on the biogeography of Arctic cephalopods are doi:10.1111/j.1751-8369.2010.00146.x still incomplete. This study integrates most known locations of Arctic cepha- lopods in an attempt to locate potential areas of interest for cephalopods, and the predators that feed on them. International and national databases, museum collections, government reports, published articles and personal communica- tions were used to develop distribution maps. Species common to the Canadian Arctic include: G. fabricii, Rossia moelleri, R. palpebrosa and Bathypolypus arcticus. Cirroteuthis muelleri is abundant in the waters off Alaska, Davis Strait and Baffin Bay. Although distribution data are still incomplete, groupings of cephalopods were found in some areas that may be correlated with oceanographic variables. Understanding species distributions and their interactions within the ecosys- tem is important to the study of a warming Arctic Ocean and the selection of marine protected areas.
