At the center, the narrow 53-mile-wide Bering Strait is the only waterway connecting the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Major currents and sea ice fuel extremely high plankton and sea floor productivity which attracts more than 10 million nesting seabirds such as Least and Parakeet Auklets, as well as the global population of wintering Spectacled ...

Bering Sea. Received 31 July 2001, accepted 15 April 2002. Isolated in the northcentral Bering Sea at 600 24' N, 1720 42' W, St. Matthew Island and its small nearby satellites, Hall Island and Pin-nacle Rock, occupy a central geographic po-sition relative to the breeding ranges and sea-sonal movements of the different bird faunas
The effects move up the food chain, reducing the populations of zooplankton, particularly euphausiids (closely related to the krill found in Antarctic waters). Birds accustomed to gorging on euphausiids, notably shearwaters, starved to death in enormous numbers.
Sitting Ducks: Why Millions of Arctic Seabirds Are in Danger. Oil spills, climate change, fishing, shipping routes—threats facing Arctic seabirds are vast, and hard to track. The entire world population of Spectacled Eiders breeds in the Bering Sea. Photo: Aaron Lang/USFWS.
