The primary purpose of the Bering Sea Ice Edge Expedition was to observe the ice-edge ecosystem of the eastern Bering Sea. Some results from observations were available soon after we collected the data at sea, and we show some of those results here.* Other data will be processed at different laboratories around the world in the months following the expedition.

We will continue to post data at this site, and it can also be found on the data area of the FOCI (Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations) Web site.
