According to the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) Plans for Implementation During the International Polar Year and Beyond, the goal of SEARCH is to “understand the nature, extent, and future development of the system-scale changes presently observed in the Arctic [such as] increasing average annual surface air temperatures, decreasing summer sea ice extent and sea ice mass, changing ocean circulation, northward movement of tree lines and vegetation zones, thawing glacial ice masses and permafrost, and changing socioeconomic dynamics” (SEARCH 2005, vii). A main question for SEARCH is whether the Arctic system is moving to a new state. The Plans for Implementation notes key secondary questions that must be addressed to answer this main question, including “How do cultural and economic systems interact with Arctic environmental change?” The multidisciplinary project is funded by National Science Foundation (USA) and chaired by University of Alaska and University of New Hamshire. MaReMa is one of several other partners, including National Marine Mammal Laboratory in USA, University of Roskilde (Denmark), Laval University (Quebec, Canada), University of Iceland, University of Western Ontario (USA) and Stefanssons Arctic Institute in Iceland. |
 About MaReMaCentre of Marine Resource Management was
established in 2004 at the Norwegian College of Fishery Science,
University of Tromsø.
The aim of the centre is to promote
research in resource management both nationally and internationally. Special
emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary research and education.
MaReMa has its origins from the Norwegian College of Fishery Science which holds multidisciplinary research groups in the field of resource management. The groups work on topics as resource biology, population dynamics, harvesting technology, fisheries economics, bioeconomics, sociology and planning. Many of the members of MaReMa also have a long track record in interdisciplinary research. The centre has considerable international experience within the areas of resource management and project evaluation. Read more on the MaReMa history here.
