Abstract
The Bering Sea is a highly productive marine ecosystem that supports valuable commercial fisheries, numerous marine mammal populations, and local communities. The ecological dynamics of the eastern Bering Sea shelf are a product of complex oceanographic processes in which physical processes are ultimately linked to biological production.
