We propose a pilot study with two goals: 1. Investigate the poorly understood circulation in the nearshore (inshore of ~20 m isobath) Bering Sea shelf. 2.

This region is important habitat for birds, marine mammals, and fish, particularly for juvenile salmon migrating from the rivers of western Alaska into the ocean. It is therefore an important component of the Bering Sea ecosystem.
