<P> Whoever owns the land is responsible or managing it . And the owners of the land differ between the Antarctic and Arctic and also within the polar regions . In the Arctic, there are six nations that own the land about 60 ° N. These nations include: Canada, Russia, Finland, USA, Denmark, Iceland and Norway . There have been international treaties set up so there are no disputes . These nations have also have set their government to manage the land properly . They have set up national parks, land for wilderness, and also land for research . In the polar regions there have been laws set up to manage the number of visitors . There have been rules set up allowing only a certain amount of mining done and other measures to protect the environment from damages . </P> <P> In the Antarctic the owners of the land are less clear . Some areas of Antarctica are controlled by the French, while other areas are controlled by South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK . Whoever owns Antarctic is still unclear therefore many other countries have put out scientific stations . The Antarctic Treaty System of 1961 was established to make sure all the conflicts were resolved about who owned the land . This and other treaties have shown interest in helping to conserve the Antarctic region . All of these countries have conservation laws . These laws manage the amount of hunting in the area, monitor invasive species, and control burning and settlement . </P> <P> In a meta - analysis of the published work in aquatic ecosystems since the term biodiversity appeared in the bibliography, the Arctic and Antarctic Polar regions were found to still be unexplored . In addition, the north Pacific Ocean (Pacific Northeast and Pacific Northwest), still has few citations in comparison to its large size . This limits our perception of the world's aquatic biodiversity . Consequently, we do not have sufficient information about biodiversity in most places on earth . Even though biodiversity declines from the equator to the poles in terrestrial ecosystems, this is still a hypothesis to be tested in aquatic and especially marine ecosystems where causes of this phenomenon are unclear . In addition, particularly in marine ecosystems, there are several well stated cases where diversity in higher latitudes actually increases . Therefore, the lack of information on biodiversity of Polar Regions prevents scientific conclusions on the distribution of the world's aquatic biodiversity . </P>
