WHOI Scientists describe ecosystem research in the southern Bering Sea and discuss why this research is important in light of predicted sea ice and ocean temperature changes. Comments from expert scientist: It's very interesting and it covers all trophic levels in the Bering Sea (sea ice biota, plankton, marine mammals etc.). It is well explained with comments by world-renowned scientists such as Carin Ashjian.
