This book is aimed at protecting the indispensable yet fragile Arctic marine environment, with sustainable restoration strategies for the conservation of the bioresources and revitalization of the ecological services. From its opening chapters introducing the unique characteristics of Arctic marine life to its comprehensive exploration of the impact of contaminants on diverse species, it navigates the complex waters of Arctic marine toxicology. The book delves into the interplay between climate change and the fate of contaminants, analyzing the far-reaching impacts on the earth’s life support systems. Finally, it illuminates the regulatory frameworks imperative for safeguarding these vulnerable ecosystems.

Its interdisciplinary approach encompasses biology, environmental science, toxicology, and conservation; the book promotes a holistic understanding of the Arctic's ecological intricacies, and the challenges posed by anthropogenic perturbations occasioned by economically motivated human activities. The book illustrates the sustainable mitigating of these anthropogenic disturbances through eco-friendly strategies. These strategies require international cooperation, robust regulations, and sustainable practices aimed at conserving the Arctic marine environment while balancing economic interests with ecological preservation.

Enriched with case studies, ethical considerations, and visionary perspectives, this book stands as an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and environmental stewards alike.

Patrick Omoregie Isibor, Ph.D., is a specialist in Pollution Studies and Ecotoxicology and a Lecturer/ Researcher in the Department of Biological Sciences at Covenant University. He received his Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Pollution Studies & Ecotoxicology (Environmental Quality Management) from the University of Benin and a B.Sc. in Zoology from Ambrose Alli University. Dr. Isibor’s research interests include ecotoxicology, hydrobiology, bioaccumulation, biosequestration, biodiversity conservation, and aquatic ecology. He is a member of the Association for Environmental Impact Assessment of Nigeria (AEIAN), the International Association of Risk and Compliance Professionals (IARCP), and the African Society for Toxicological Sciences (ASTS).
