Clean Seas Guidelines

When travelling to the polar regions, there are steps you can take to reduce the amount of plastic and other waste produced.

Biosecurity Guidelines

The Arctic remains one of the most pristine natural environments in the world. AECO’s biosecurity guidelines aim to minimize the risk of future introductions of non-native species to the Arctic.

Vegetation Guidelines

Arctic summers are short, cold and unpredictable, but plants live even in the most barren places and the region is greener than you might expect.
