Seal Survey Underway in Bering Sea

Tuesday, May 01 2012

Two weeks ago, American and Russian researchers kicked off the largest seal survey ever conducted in the Bering Sea. The goal of the project is to get baseline data about the various seal species that depend on sea ice for their survival. KUCB’s Stephanie Joyce caught up with one of the researchers on St. Paul Island to find out how things have been going.

A seal survey being conducted by the Native Village of Kotzebue is underway, and has been for a few years, by Alex Whiting. Great baseline data is coming in continuously. All the best to the folks conducting this survey.
