New baseline set for marine mammals exposure to ship traffic in the Pacific Arctic

By Moss | June 25, 2026

Two new studies in this region establish a baseline on vessel traffic exposure and its potential impacts on two species of marine mammals. These studies advance our understanding of how increasing marine traffic overlaps with migratory marine mammal populations over time as sea ice continues to decline.

The International Arctic Research Center is part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

IARC's purpose is to understand the Arctic to make a difference.
