Sub-Arctic Marine Ecosystems
• BEST/BSIERP: Understanding the Bering Sea (shelf) Ecosystem
• $52M study; 2007-2012• BEST/NSF: PO – euphausiids (OCH Ho.)• BSIERP/NPRB: euphausiids/fish – mm/LTK• Scope & Study Area – refer to booklet: note
LTK, modeling & data mgt. are high profile• BEST/BSIERP: component of ESSAS
Sea Ice: sub-Arctic & Arctic ‘channeling’ Jim Overland…..
• Sea ice signal ‘decoupling’ between sub-arctic and Arctic systems
• 2007 extreme sea ice retreat followed by 2008 extreme extent in Bering Sea
• What is the response of each system?
• Will the ‘ice seal’ ESA listing decision follow 2008 polar bear decision?
