Arctic Frontiers 2019 side event: Implications of a BBNJ Treaty for the Arctic
JCLOS is proud to be hosting a side event at Arctic Frontiers on 24 January 2019 in Tromsø, Norway. The Arctic is undergoing profound change, causing near irreversible modifications to the fragile and vulnerable Arctic marine ecology and environment. This side event will explore the possible implications between the existing Arctic marine governance framework and the treaty that is being negotiated at the United Nations to provide for the long-term health and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in the high seas. Each speaker will discuss the possible implications through the lenses of cooperation and compatibility.

We are proud to invite to a new Havetshemmeligheter ("The secrets of the ocean") - JCLOS' popular "outreach"! This time it is about the new international Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean. Is there a need for such an agreement, and what are it's consequences? Wine and snacks from the sea will be served as always. Welcome!
Alf Hakon Hoel from Norges fiskerihøgskole will contribute, as well as JCLOS's own Tore Henriksen - both from UiT Norges arktiske universitet.
