The Arctic includes more than a fifth of the world’s coastlines. Climate
change and other anthropogenic activities represent major threats to Arctic coastal
biodiversity. However, as our current knowledge on coastal Arctic biodiversity originates
from a small number of study sites, these impacts are poorly understood, which hinders
actions aimed at mitigating them at a pan-Arctic scales. On pages 460–467, Jakob
Thyrring and colleagues present the results of a horizon scan that provides a road
map to
address these knowledge gaps. Image credit: Mikael K. Sejr...Show more
