<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope you are all well. Currently in the SeaVox Salt and Fresh Water Body Gazetteer, the Arctic Ocean subregion (shown in yellow in the attached image) has the same name as the overall Arctic Ocean region. The Arctic Ocean region includes
all of the various subregions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is currently a single entry in C19 for the main Arctic Ocean region, but no entry for the subregion. We have had a request for the name of the Arctic Ocean subregion to be updated to ‘Central Arctic Ocean’, and for this to be added
to C19, which would allow differentiation between the Arctic Ocean region and Arctic ocean subregion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would be willing to make this change, but wanted to check with you to see if you had any objection?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The user has also requested that the main Arctic Ocean region be subsequently renamed to ‘Arctic Ocean - Nordic Seas’, to indicate that this includes all of the various subregions. We are aware that you also have a Global Oceans and Seas
file: <a href="https://www.marineregions.org/sources.php#goas">https://www.marineregions.org/sources.php#goas</a> - which has the Arctic Ocean as defined in the SeaVoX data set. Again we would appreciate hearing your opinion on whether we should be making
this change.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you could contact us as soon as possible that would be great.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>
