The seasonal rhythm of sea-ice advance and retreat in the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) moves ice hundreds of kilometers across the broad continental shelf and exerts a powerful influence on the ecology of these waters. In winter, the combination of latitude, geology, winds, and ocean currents produces ice cover extending far into the southern Bering Sea. In the spring and summer, retreating ice, longer daylight hours, and nutrient-rich ocean water result in exceptionally high marine production, vital to both sea life and people. The intense burst of spring production, together with more episodic summer and early fall production, provides the energy that powers the complex food web and ultimately sustains nearly half of the US annual commercial fish landings, as well as providing food and cultural value to thousands of Bering Sea coastal and island residents. Finally, we acknowledge the National Science Foundation (NSF Award No. 1308087) and the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) for author support during the concluding phase of the Bering Sea Project, and we thank many colleagues at NSF, NPRB, and NOAA for their management partnership and expertise. Funding for the Bering Sea Project was provided by NSF and NPRB, with in-‐kind contribution from participants. 2018-09-15 Report Bering Sea Sea ice Woods Hole Scientific Community: WHOAS (Woods Hole Open Access Server) Bering Sea Pacific Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography 134 3 12 |
