there are also numerous trends and events that demonstrate a commitment to cooperation and joint solutions to common challenges. For example, in 2018, the Arctic coastal states (Canada, Kingdom of Denmark, Norway, Russia, US) and key fishing nations (Iceland, South Korea, China, Japan, and the EU) concluded the Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean. This agreement establishes a precautionary and sustainable harvesting approach to Arctic Ocean fisheries, should these ever become commercially viable.
