The Barents Sea is a marginal sea located in the Arctic region, bordered by the northern coasts of Norway and Russia. It is part of the Arctic Ocean and is known for its rich marine biodiversity, including fish species like cod and haddock. The sea plays a significant role in regional climate and is influenced by warm currents from the Atlantic Ocean. The Barents Sea is also important for natural resources, particularly oil and gas reserves. It has been the focus of various international agreements and environmental discussions due to its ecological significance and the impact of climate change on its ice cover and marine life.
