4. The Bering Sea Project  In partnership with North Pacific Research Board and The national Science Foundation. Understanding Ecosystem Processes in the Bering Sea  The Bering Sea Project has many scientists working to understand how the Bering Sea Ecosystem works and how Climate Change is effected.

5. Connection with Bering Sea The Bering Sea Project has scientists like Tom Van Pelt studying the connections of Marine birds, other marine life, and how humans have sustained the Bering Sea.

6. Bering Sea Expedition Tom Van Pelt and other scientists went on an expedition in 2009 to study the Bering Sea ecosystem

7. Marine Birds Tom Van Pelt studies marine birds in the Bering Sea and how they are effected by the climate change. The marine birds have an effect on the ecosystem, climate change, other marine life, and humans.

8. Program Manager Tom Van pelt studies Marine Birds for the Bering Sea Project. He also is the Program Manager for the North Pacific Research Board. Tom Van Pelt manages research funds, organizes meetings, and brings other researchers together for more information on the Bering Sea ecosystem.

9. Results In 2005 Tom Van Pelt led a team searching for the rare sea bird called Kittlitz's Murrelet. Red: Is where they looked for birds from boat. Blue: Is where they saw the bird and size of dot is how many sea Murrelets there were. This graph shows an understanding of how wind direction and cross-self transport. It shows how the process of the Bering Sea ecosystem works.

10. Bering Sea Tom Van Pelt has brought researchers together for more information on the Bering Sea Project. The Bering Sea Project has different partnerships to understand the ecosystem of the Bering Sea. Tom Van Pelt also studies marine birds and how they are involved in the Bering Sea ecosystem.
