Norwegian Polar Institute scientists study Barents Sea ecosystems, birds and mammals, and the sea ice itself, and our environmental managers helped to draw up the Management Plan for the Barents Sea. [62] The aim of the study was to increase petroleum system knowledge across a relatively data-poor area of the northern Barents Sea. Rich deposits of oil and natural gas are found under the sea bottom and are being explored commercially, in the areas with sea depths of up to about one kilometre. Enjoy the beautiful Barents Sea and make your fishing industry dreams come true. The Barents Sea is very important for the Norwegian fishing industry, since it is both a valuable growing-up area for several important species of fish and big catches are taken here.

The most important products of the Norwegian Sea are no longer fish, but oil and especially gas found under the ocean floor. [24], Zooplankton is mostly represented by the copepods Calanus finmarchicus and Calanus hyperboreus, where the former occurs about four times more often than the latter and is mostly found in the Atlantic streams, whereas C. hyperboreus dominates the Arctic waters;[24] they are the main diet of most marine predators. The Norwegian Polar Institute focuses on the Barents Sea Large glaciers several kilometres high pushed into the land, forming fjords, removing the crust into the sea, and thereby extending the continental slopes. [61] The large depth and harsh waters of the Norwegian Sea pose significant technical challenges for offshore drilling. Post limit reached. The warm North Atlantic Current ensures relatively stable and high water temperatures, so that unlike the Arctic seas, the Norwegian Sea is ice-free throughout the year. The studies are expected to further progress the project development towards a final concept select decision. The Triassic succession in the southern Barents Sea continues to the north and the outcrops of Svalbard are very good analogs. The notification was made in an effort to avoid misperceptions, reduce risk, and prevent inadvertent escalation. [30] Orcas and some other whales visit the sea in the summer months for feeding; their population is closely related to the herring stocks, and they follow the herring schools within the sea. [48], Jan Mayen island was discovered in 1607 and become an important base of Dutch whalers. Only four areas of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge are deeper than 500 metres: the Faroe Bank Channel (about 850 metres), some parts of the Iceland-Faroe Ridge (about 600 metres), the Wyville-Thomson Ridge (620 metres), and areas between Greenland and the Denmark Strait (850 meters) – this is much shallower than the Norwegian Sea. Sea ice is a common problem in the Arctic seas, but ice-free conditions along the entire northern route were observed at the end of August 2008. [8] Part of it comes through the Faroe-Shetland Channel and has a comparatively high salinity of 35.3‰ (parts per thousand). Its temperature is below 0 °C and drops to −1 °C at the ocean floor. As late as in 1845, the Encyclopædia metropolitana contained a multi-page review by Erik Pontoppidan (1698–1764) on ship-sinking sea monsters half a mile in size. The NPD requests this name to be used informally in the Barents Sea. A submarine ridge linking Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and north Scotland separates the Norwegian Sea from the open Atlantic. At least 20 million seabirds live here in summer.

It connects with the deeper Norwegian Sea to the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Kara Sea to the east, and borders the Norwegian and Russian coasts to the south. [1], The Norwegian Sea is a transition zone between boreal and Arctic conditions, and thus contains flora and fauna characteristic of both climatic regions. We support Norwegian-Russian cooperation. [20] The 10-degree July isotherm (air temperature line) runs through the northern boundary of the Norwegian Sea and is often taken as the southern boundary of the Arctic. Since the late 19th century, the Norwegian Coastal Express sea line has been established, connecting the more densely populated south with the north of Norway by at least one trip a day. Deep trenches are found in many places and they typically have a horizontal soft bottom due to the accumulation of sediment. The Barents Sea is one of the most productive oceanic areas in the world, and few other seas can boast a corresponding abundance of breeding seabirds. [6], The coasts of the Norwegian Sea were shaped during the last Ice Age. 90% of these catch demersal species, including fish and crustaceans, and 15% catch pelagic species. The southwest border is shared between Iceland and Denmark/Faroe Islands. (2013) propose the extension of the Naust formation of the Nordland Group into the Norwegian Barents Sea.

Estimates for the entire North Atlantic are that only 2% of biomass is produced at depths below 1,000 metres and only 1.2% occurs near the sea floor. For the past 40 years, the Barents Sea has given a yield of between 1 and 3.5 million tonnes of fish. Published on 04.07.2019. This current originates in the North Atlantic Current and passes along the European continental slope; increased evaporation due to the warm European climate results in the elevated salinity. The Ice Service of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (NIS) is responsible for ice monitoring within the Atlantic sector of the Arctic and provides daily (working day, Monday-Friday) ice charts with an emphasis on Svalbard and the Barents Sea. [1], The hydrology of the upper water layers is largely determined by the flow from the North Atlantic.

[24] With a total population of about 110,000, minke whales are by far the most common whales in the sea. The treaty resolves what for several decades remained the most important outstanding issue between Norway and Russia. The North-east Arctic cod spawns along the Norwegian coast; [31], The bowhead whale used to be a major plankton predator, but it almost disappeared from the Norwegian Sea after intense whaling in the 19th century,[22] and was temporarily extinct in the entire North Atlantic. [26], Enforcement of environmental and fishing regulations has resulted in partial recovery of the herring populations since 1987. [36], The largest damage to the Norwegian Sea was caused by extensive fishing, whaling, and pollution. en The most active polar lows are found over certain ice-free maritime areas in or near the Arctic during the winter, such as the Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea, Labrador Sea and Gulf of Alaska. The drive towards more drilling also stands in sharp contrast to the Norwegian government’s growing climate commitments. Barents Sea oil and gas exploration has been ongoing since the 1980s and approximately 60 discoveries have been made in the Norwegian sector of the sea alone. [9] The flow shows strong seasonal variations and can be twice as high in winter as in summer. Please try again in a minute. Cut by the Arctic Circle, the sea is often associated with the Arctic Ocean to the north. It merges with the Barents Sea off the northern coast of Norway, and with the waters of the North Sea to the southeast of the Faroe Islands. CGG’s Satellite Mapping group recently completed an innovative high-resolution hydrocarbon seeps study commissioned by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD). Over the last century, the Norwegian Sea has been suffering from overfishing.
