 The cold waters of the eastern Bering Sea support some of the world’s largest and best-managed commercial fisheries. Sustainable management of these fisheries is founded on scientific information provided by Alaska Fisheries Science Center groundfish surveys. New collaborative research is providing information to ensure accurate local estimates of fish abundance in a changing Bering Sea. |
 Photographs can transport us back to some of our favorite memories. They can also introduce others to wonderful places. To celebrate photographs that help connect us with the importance of healthy habitat, we’re holding the 2021 NOAA Habitat Month Photo Contest. |
