Abstract
Recently, in the Arctic zone, including its marine area, the presence of a number of economic entities has already been observed. This is, first of all, transport, the extraction of biological resources, the extraction of aquatic culture, and, finally, the extraction of mineral and hydrocarbon resources. It is worth noting that in recent years, a number of institutions were formed at the state level in Russia to promote business development in the Arctic zone. These are the created State Commission for the Development of the Arctic, as well as the Business and Scientific Councils created under this commission. At the state level, a number of fundamental documents were also adopted (the Strategy for the development of the Russian Arctic and national security for the period up to 2020, the Marine Doctrine of the Russian Federation), which define the development of the Arctic as one of the main priorities of the state policy. Taking into account different directions of economic activities of these business entities, each of which has its own geography and national-international system of regulation and management, conflict of interests is often observed that can lead to very negative consequences for sensitive ecosystems of the Arctic zone and for the development of individual sectors of the economy. In other words, in contrast to harmoniously created natural ecosystems, human activities on the shelf of the Arctic seas do not have a systematic organization, individual industries (transport, production of bio- and aquatic resources, hydrocarbon resources production, etc.) do not form a single systemic commonality. The search and maintenance of such a balance is the main task of comprehensive management of the development of Arctic marine hydrocarbon fields.
