Description:Long-term monitoring and data collection provide the foundational knowledge and context for understanding how climate change impacts Alaskan marine ecosystems. A generation of ocean observing by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ecosystems and Fisheries Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) is at the forefront of detecting regional and global climate change and its impacts on ecosystems (Figure 1). Using a variety of observing tools, including research vessels and mooring arrays, and continuous integration of new technology, the program’s advances in marine science have provided contextual information to enable direct and effective management and sustainable use of fisheries resources in the Bering Sea. EcoFOCI was thus poised to address emergent physical and biological questions arising from an unprecedented loss of winter sea ice in the US Arctic in 2018 and 2019.
