Is the Climate of the Bering Sea Warming and Affecting the Ecosystem? (PDF) (2004) "The Bering Sea is experiencing a northward biogeographical shift in response to changing temperature and atmospheric forcing. If this shift continues over the next decade, it will have major impacts on commercial and subsistence harvests...The stakes are enormous, as this rich and diverse ecosystem currently provides 47% of the U.S. fishery production by weight, and is home to 80% of the U. S. seabird population..." by JamesE. Overland and Phyllis J. Stabeno, August 2004.
