The second driver of productivity in the Bering Sea is seasonal sea ice that, in part, triggers the spring phytoplankton bloom. Seasonal melting of sea ice causes an influx of lower salinity water into the middle and other shelf areas, causing stratification and hydrographic effects which influence productivity. [17]
Bering Sea Gold is an American reality series that was first broadcast on Discovery Channel on January 27, 2012. The show follows miners as they try to mine gold in Nome, Alaska, in the summer as well as winter season. As of December 22, 2023, 212 episodes of Bering Sea Gold have aired.
The show is divided into the summer dredging season (aired in the spring), under the title Bering Sea Gold, and the spring dredging season (aired in the fall), under the title Bering Sea Gold: Under The Ice. For the first three seasons, this distinction held; in the 2015 4th season of the spring ice dredging season, the title card changed to ...
Warmer, ice-free conditions in the southeast Bering Sea are roughly 200 times more likely now than before humans began burning planet-warming fossil fuels. Scientists have more evidence to explain ...
The Arctic waters that are not sea ice in late summer, including Hudson Bay, Baffin Bay, Ungava Bay, the Davis, Denmark, Hudson and Bering Straits, and the Labrador, Norwegian, (ice-free all year), Greenland, Baltic, Barents (southern part ice-free all year), Kara, Laptev, Chukchi, Okhotsk, sometimes Beaufort and Bering Seas.
Native villages in the northern Bering Sea region of Alaska largely practice a subsistence-based lifestyle that is inextricably tied to the rich marine ecosystem of the Bering Sea. Warming ocean temperatures , Arctic sea ice decline , and increasing ship traffic all threaten the subsistence practices and food security of these communities.
Arctic sea ice expands and contracts throughout the year, reaching a peak extent sometime during March, just as the sun rises above the North Pole. It shrinks back during the summer, on its way to ...
The Bering Strait has become vulnerable to climatic changes, trans Arctic shipping, and resource exploitation. The Obama administration's Executive Order 13754 of December 9, 2016 [1] defines a Northern Bering Sea Climate Resilience Area that gives protection to the indigenous coastal communities that rely on the strait for subsistence hunting, and the surrounding marine ecosystem's vitality.
