Ask Ms. Prevenas

Are there any signs of Global Warming in the Bering Sea? And if so what are the signs of Global Warming?

Hello Alain! 
What good questions you ask.
I talked to a few scientists about this. I have never been up here before so I cannot compare it to a baseline. Scientists remarked that it is evident in the depth of the water around some of the inlets, the amount of glacier that has melted recently, the changing number and kinds of fish, and so much more.
 
As we continue to go north in this expedition we will be making all kinds of observations. Stay tuned, I am sure we will be finding out first hand in the near future.
 
warmly,
 
Mrs. P
