Melting Arctic sea ice is changing bowhead whale migrations, study finds

  • Research has found that some bowhead whales in the Bering–Chukchi–Beaufort (BCB) population are no longer migrating to the northwestern Bering Sea in the winter but remain in the Canadian Beaufort Sea.
  • These migratory shifts are occurring as sea ice declines in the region due to climate change.
