Audubon Alaska and collaborators have produced an Ecological Atlas of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas. This trans-boundary set of maps synthesizes Arctic marine science and ecological knowledge on a wide array of subjects from oceanography to species ecology to human uses. The atlas maps integrate disparate datasets into concise, cohesive, and complementary layers that visually describe seasonal use, activity, and movement of species and resources throughout the region.
