In North American Arctic marine systems, rapid warming is significant, with cascading impacts beyond polar regions , and presents limited opportunities  but high risks   . Both direct hazards and indirect food-web alterations from sea ice loss have imperilled seabirds, marine mammals, small-boat operators, subsistence hunters and coastal communities . Increasingly favourable environmental conditions due to warming combined with shipping and other activities has raised the rate of invasive species movement into the Arctic . Sea ice loss due to climate change is expected to accelerate over the next century .
