The Bering Sea is one of the most productive seas in the world and includes globally important habitats for many biological resources. U.S. commercial fisheries in the Bering Sea are worth close to $1 billion per year. In Russia, the fishery is worth about $600 million a year, and makes up about a third of the country’s fish harvest. The marine resources of the area are now being impacted by climate and other environmental changes. The health, economic well-being, and ways of life of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in the region are connected to the Bering Sea and its natural resources. The socioeconomic development of coastal villages along the Bering Sea, on both the Russian and United States sides, is dependent on the maintaining ecologically sustainable conditions in the region.
