Samenvatting

This research aims to provide an overview of the current status of the three walrus sub-species found in the Arctic: the Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus), the Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) and the Laptev walrus (Odobenus rosmarus laptevi). In this report the focus will be on walrus distribution and habitat preference, combined with the impact of climate change and the potential effects of increasing economic development in the Arctic. Possible effects on walruses and their habitat are determined, ultimately aiding the issuing of a conservation statement on walruses and their habitat.
