Exploration of the Arctic Shelf is a strategic objective of the sustainable development of our country, taking into account the use of hydrocarbon potential of this territory. At the same time there is a real ecological threat to violate the integrity of biodiversity in the region without implementing the environmental policy of protection of the Arctic Shelf of the Russian Federation. The state strategy until 2025 formulated strategic policy objectives: preserving and restoring the natural environment, ensuring environmental quality, ensuring human well-being and using economic development, eliminating accumulated environmental damage as a result of intensifying economic and industrial activities. A complex solution of these tasks is, on the one hand, the creation of specially protected natural territories, and on the other, the development of an environmental monitoring system. The status of specially protected natural territories allows minimizing industrial activities in a given area, reducing the vulnerability of natural ecosystems to anthropogenic influences. The program of environmental monitoring is a real tool that allows for the collection and analysis of data on the study of environmental reactions to anthropogenic impact, followed by monitoring the state of the biosphere for a development policy for this region dictated the need to develop an environmental monitoring system taking into account its particular features in these latitudes. The proposed system is considered on the example of the Russian Arctic National Park and can be extended to other specially protected natural territories of the Russian Federation. Until now, the lack of an environmental control system in the shelf areas of the Arctic North of Russia and the need for a development policy for this region dictated the need to develop an environmental monitoring system taking into account its particular features in these latitudes. The proposed system is considered on the example of the Russian Arctic National Park and can be extended to other specially protected natural territories of the Russian Federation.
