This book is based on presentations from the Conference ´Arctic Marine Resource Governance´ held in Reykjavik Iceland in October 2015. The book is divided into four main themes: 1. Global management and institutions for Arctic marine resources 2. Resource stewards and users: local and indigenous co-management 3. Governance gaps in Arctic marine resource management and 4. Multi-scale, ecosystem-based, Arctic marine resource management´.

The ecosystem changes underway in the Arctic region are expected to have significant impacts on living resources in both the short and long run, and current actions and policies adopted over such resource governance will have serious and ultimately irreversible consequences in the near and long terms.

"Throughout the collection, cited research is well explained and documented. ... generally the writing and presentation are accessible across disciplines. ... The audience for Governance should include scholars and policymakers who wish to expand their appreciation of the wide ranging and complex elements of sustainably managing this great region. It should also include the advanced Student of the Arctic." (Joseph F. C. DLMento, The Yearbook of Polar Law, Vol. 10, 2018)
