2 Audubon Alaska is a science-based conservation organization that works to protect birds, other wildlife, and their habitats across the Great Land of Alaska. We use science to identify conservation priorities and support conservation actions and policies, with an emphasis on public lands and waters, and through education we seek to raise public awareness about the natural ecosystems of Alaska.
3 The Ecological Atlas of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas M. Smith, M. Goldman, E. Knight, J. Warrenchuk, M. Zaleski, B. Mecum, B. Sullender, D. Huffman, and N. Warnock
4 Collaborators LONG LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (D. Kelso and M. Turnipseed) National Audubon Society (S. Senner) Kawerak (J. Raymond- Yakoubian, tribal representatives) AOOS (M. McCammon), Axiom Data Science (M. Herstand) Contractors (D. Huffman, E. Cline, B. Raymond-Yakoubian, S.R. Braund & Associates) Researchers, traditional knowledge-holders, reviewers Funding agencies
5 Why map the Arctic seas? Increasing interest in the Arctic, intensifying development pressures, changing climate, and a need to make informed decisions
6 Benefits of an Ecological Atlas Make data useable and accessible to a wide range of users Develop a holistic picture for species and ecosystems Inform planning and decisions No recent equivalent product available image: Moore and Stabeno 2015
