Session 2
New observations and understanding of eastern and western Bering Sea ecosystems
Co-Convenors:
Rodger Harvey (USA)
Oleg N. Katugin (Russia)
Sang Heon Lee (Korea)
Mike Sigler (USA)
Invited Speakers:
Gennady Khen (Russia) - presents on May 23, Plenary
Session
Franz J. Mueter (USA)
Phyllis Stabeno (USA) - presents on May 23, Plenary Session
This session is meant to showcase the recent major
efforts in the Bering Sea Ecosystem Study (BEST) and the Bering Sea
Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BSIERP), as well as the compendium
of new information provided in the most recent PICES North Pacific Ecosystem
Status Report and studies that have been carried out in the Bering Sea
by Russia, Korea, Japan and China. These papers will provide an opportunity
to gain an overall perspective of the relative importance of various
forcing mechanisms in driving marine ecosystem dynamics.
