Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elliot L. Richardson The United States is finally awakening to the fact that it has a major stake in the future of the Arctic. Recognition of the national importance of the Arctic has been slow in coming despite the resource wealth that Arctic Alaska has thus far yielded. Although the United States has had strategic interests in the Arctic since World War II and active oil and gas interests there since the discovery of oil at Prudhoe Bay in 1968, its interest in the Arctic has been low in comparison with that of its Arctic neighbors, Canada and the Soviet Union. What has been described by some as an attitude of neglect toward the Arctic is now changing. The notion of change has become central in most current discussions about the future of the Arctic. It is apparent that the Arctic region is entering a period of greatly accelerated economic, social, strategic, and is political change. The driving force behind the changes taking place resource development activity, and although the present scale of this activity is not inconsequential, it is small in comparison to its projected growth in the next two decades. In short, the Arctic is about to come alive. However, knowledge of the Arctic and experience in the Arctic is comparatively limited. Moreover, competing interests and differing val ues exist among national groups and between countries in the Arctic, just as they do in the lower latitudes.

Download or read book Current Issues in Alaska Wetland Management written by Charles H. Racine and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although wetlands cover over half of Alaska, the status, management and regulation of these areas is problematic. The technical literature on Alaskan wetland vegetation, soils and hydrology is abundant, but the application of the literature to wetland management is poorly developed. This report identifies problems, issues and information gaps in the management of Alaskan wetlands. There are numerous arguments and debates on the designation, function and values, and disturbance of certain wetlands in Alaska. Permafrost, fire cycles and unique hydrologic regimes complicate the designation and delineation of Alaskan wetlands. The functions and values of most Alaskan wetlands clearly lie in their importance as habitat, particularly for migrating waterbirds, but an understanding of their role in flood water storage, water quality improvement, subsistence and other functions remains controversial and in need of study. Disturbance and other impacts on Alaskan wetlands is small relative to the large area that wetlands cover and in comparison with the loss of wetlands in the lower 48 states. However, several development projects in Alaska have affected large wetland areas and methods to restore these wetlands are being developed. Cumulative impacts are unknown, as are techniques for restoring permafrost wetlands containing gravel fill.
