🌡️ Sea ice loss has made the #Arctic more accessible and attractive to #shipping & #cruise companies.

⚠️ But with economic opportunities come environmental, social & safety risks.

Int'l #shipping generates a lot of emissions & effects whales 🚢 🐋

Slowing ship speeds could help 📉

But as John Maggs @CleanShippingCo explains, this shift won’t happen without ambitious regulation. In #TheCircleWWF 🔗:

Scrubbers have long been used in various industries to clean exhaust gas & became popular in #shipping in the 2000s 🚢

But Eelco Leemans @CleanArctic says it's time for a change. We now know that scrubbers' wastewater harms marine life.

Since 1990, #shipping traffic in the Canadian #Arctic has almost tripled. The Arctic Corridors Research Project started to reduce 🚢 impacts on traditional hunting & fishing activities.

Shipping in the #Arctic is like nowhere else on Earth 🚢

The harsh climate make for challenging navigation and the Arctic's unique geography makes it more vulnerable to #shipping-related impacts 🚫
