This is a map of ice coverage in the Bering Sea in April of
1995. We use satellite data to estimate coverage through the year and ice
retreat in the Spring. |

This EcoFOCI mooring site, M2, in in the Bering Sea was located so
it would contact sea ice before the Spring retreat each year. Moorings allow
long-term collection of velocity, temperature, salinity, and other parameters
at various depths. This particular mooring has been gathering data since
1995. See our mooring
data plots, or mooring
cruise plans for more information. |

Drifter tracks over one year in the Southeast
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. The Drifter Data site includes data files, metadata, animations,
daily
image, and historical
drifter movies. |

The Western Aleutian population of Steller Sea Lions (photo
library) has been in decline for several decades. EcoFOCI has been observing
the population and their ecosystem to help determine underlying causes related
to climate change and/or predator/prey relationships.. We look at the oceanography and marine
biology . |
