Since 2019, an international group has been investigating a mysterious phenomenon that’s been killing off one of the world’s heartiest survivors | This story is part of the PulitzerCenter’s nationwide Connected Coastlines reporting initiative.
The Bering Strait is home to large mammals and migratory species that access the sea as the sea ice retreats.edge that only made it past the narrow strait.
“Have you seen photos of mud plumes from gray whales?” Janet Clarke, research scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies at the University of Washington, asks on a Zoom call.“As the animal is surfacing, it’s basically got all this gunk stuff in its mouth … well then it uses its tongue to push the sediment out through the baleen.
“You can almost be assured of gray whales and other species actually, but it’s very much a gray whale hotspot in that area,” said Clarke. “I think the quality of food that are getting is less than what they did in the past,” Grebmeier said. Change in temperature also changes the speed of currents. Slower waters where these sea bugs live mean more fine sediment reaches them on the floor. Like gusting winds to autumn leaves, faster currents take these fine particles farther from the sea bug's habitat. Without the “wind,” sediment settles onto the amphipod communities. Greater amounts of fine sediment impacts their ability to build content little lives in the mud.
