Youth Reporting Project: Marine Traffic in the Arctic

ATMI visited Golovin and Wales—two villages along the Bering Strait—to learn about the potential for increased ship traffic in the Arctic. The team dropped a hydrophone into the Bering Strait, detecting and recording sea mammals as they migrated north through the strait in the spring.
