BERING SEA BLUES(GLOBAL WARMING)

As global warming transforms the region, scientists are scrambling to study its diversity of species that depend on ice for survival.
QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU KNOW about the Bering Sea, that patch of blue on the map to the west of Alaska?

Your answer could be an astounding half of the U.S seafood catch comes from the region-including the 2.5 billion pounds of walleye pollock turned every year into imitation crabmeat, fish steaks and fast-food filets. Or maybe you know that Yup'ik, Inupiat and Aleut people have lived off the Bering Sea's bounty for thousands of years. Or that ever since Russians happened upon the region's Priblof Islands in the 1700s, human beings have been altering its rich ecosystem.

But even if you are a researcher who sturdies the area-even if you've read every scientific paper on the subject-you don't know exactly how some of its seabirds make use of areas of water amid the winter pack ice, or where it is distinctive ribbon seals go in the spring after they left their Bering Sea feeding grounds. No one does.

As one of the most remote and forbidden marine habitats on the habitats on the planet, the Bering Sea still holds plenty of secrets-and it could hold onto them forever. Scientists worry that as the sea's ice shrink with global warming, they may lose the chance to study its current web of life, much less understand future changes. "You just can't know what's going on if you don't know you started with," says Alan Springer of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The impact of Global warming on Bering Sea Blues is clearly visualize without further witnesses. The sea managers are already dreaming of extinctions-a sporadic events that cannot be ended. We can help Bering Sea Blues if we help the world in general, because Global warming in comparison is intriguing connected. Therefore, "you need to solve all inorder to solve one," that is my solution!
