Figure 6.1 Map of the two major ocean current systems in the BBDS region (Pacific-derived = blue arrows and blue shading; Atlantic water = orange arrows and orange shading). Marine biological hotspots and EBSAs discussed in the text are shown by the numbered circles: (1) Hudson Strait, (2) Hatton Basin, (3) Lancaster Sound, (4) Smith Sound, (5) the Greenland shelf from Uummannaq to Melville, (6) Disko Bay, (7) Store Hellefiskebanke, and (8) the Maniitsoq area and Fyllas Bank. The white block arrows denote inputs of fresh water and icebergs from the Greenland Ice Sheet. The solid lines near the coasts mark the 250-meter isobath that delineates shelf areas.
