--------------------

The Adaptation Actions for a Changing Arctic (AACA), a project of the

Arctic Council's Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP),

announces a call for input on a community survey about changes in the

Beaufort, Bering, and Chukchi Regions.

The Arctic region is changing rapidly in terms of climate, ecosystems,

economics, and resource development. The AACA project is being conducted

to better understand how existing information about these changes may

inform action. The project will target the marine and surrounding

terrestrial areas of three Arctic regions: the Barents Region, the

Baffin Bay/Davis Strait Region, and the Bering/Chukchi/Beaufort Seas

Region. This survey solicits information about the Beaufort, Bering, and

Chukchi Region.

The goal of the AACA project is to determine what actions people are

taking to adapt to the rapid changes that have occurred in the Arctic,

how scientific information can help inform decisions, and what

information is needed to better respond to these changes in the Arctic.

These include changes in climate, changes in economy, changes in access,

and changes anticipated in the next 20 and 70 years. The survey also

solicits information about ideas or actions already implemented and what

information stakeholders need for decision-making to prepare for the

changes coming in the future.

AACA seeks as broad a perspective as possible. Names and responses will

not be published without explicit consent. Names will only be share

among the researchers

The survey will be open until: Sunday, 20 July 2014.
