In this episode we listen to  four distinguished experts exchange views on and discuss cooperation opportunities linked to Arctic Marine Conservation efforts and ArcNet – an Arctic Ocean Network of Priority Areas for Conservation. 

The experts are:

• Martin Sommerkorn, Head of Conservation WWF Arctic Programme
• Lauren Devine, Director, Ecosystem Conservation Office at Aleut Community of St. Paul Island

The dialogue originally took place as an Arctic Circle Webcast Session. The Session was organised by WWF and was open for questions from the global audience.

Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic. It is an open democratic platform with participation from governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, Indigenous communities, concerned citizens, and others interested in the development of the Arctic and its consequences for the future of the globe. It is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization.
