There is strong public interest in both the Arctic and Antarctica and global climate change. By better understanding how these polar ecosystems function in winter and the likely effects of increasing temperatures we will be able to keep the public informed on likely impacts. There are large fishing industries in the Arctic and growing finfish and krill fisheries in the Southern Ocean. This project will contribute to a better understanding of how these stocks will be affected (together with seals, penguins and whales) and how they should be managed to ensure sustainable fisheries and maximum biodiversity.

公众对北极和南极以及全球气候变化都有着浓厚的兴趣。通过更好地了解这些极地生态系统在冬季的功能以及温度升高的可能影响，我们将能够让公众了解可能的影响。北极有大型渔业，南大洋的鳍鱼和磷虾渔业也在不断增长。该项目将有助于更好地了解这些种群（以及海豹、企鹅和鲸鱼）将如何受到影响，以及应如何管理这些种群，以确保可持续渔业和最大限度的生物多样性。
