Observed disruption of ocean and coastal cultural services by climate impacts, plus increasingly severe and widespread projected climate- change impacts on ocean and coastal ecosystems, imply that the risk to cultural ecosystem services will remain constant or even increase  . Recent studies assert that cultural ecosystem services are at risk from climate change  . However, limited evidence and complex social-ecological interactions  challenge development of specific projections. For instance, the little auk  in the North Water Polynya is traditionally harvested by Indigenous Inughuit for food and community-wide celebrations and seasonal activities, but harvests are threatened to an undetermined degree as the seabird competes for food with recovering bowhead whale  populations and northward range shifts of capelin  due to warming . Section 3.6 assesses the cultural implications of implemented human adaptations.
