Marine Rational Natural Resource Use As a Complex Problem of the Ocean Geography

Abstract
The paper discusses the status and prospects of the development of ocean and coastal zone natural resource use in Russia. Based on the works of the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and other publications, the paper analyzes the main stages of the development of ocean and coastal zone natural resource use in the Arctic. The study highlights the importance of the large marine ecosystems paradigm as a determining stage in the functional analysis and monitoring of the development of the Arctic. It is shown that ocean and coastal zone natural resource use is significantly different from a similar process on land. These differences are caused by the fact that marine geographic spaces are characterized by subsystems with vague boundaries; so, it is exceedingly difficult to delineate marine geosystems. The Barents Sea as a marine geosystem with a specific set of geo- and ecosystem properties and functions makes it necessary to resolve a number of questions. The paper concludes that further development of ocean and coastal zone natural resource use in the Arctic is impossible without solving two issues that are the cornerstones of modern marine geography as an integrated discipline. These two issues are cumulative assessments of the ecological impact on marine ecosystems and economic assessment of the value of ecosystem products and services.
