The Arctic serves as a critical destination for various species, including shorebirds, marine mammals, and fish, which utilize the region for breeding, feeding, and seasonal residency as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, climate change is actively altering these migration patterns, as evidenced by the research reviewed in [4], [5], and [6].
