Climate-driven changes in sea ice and currents could lead to smaller, less nutritious zooplankton, a new NOAA Fisheries study suggests. These organisms are prey for whales that migrate to the Chukchi Sea to feed. These shifts in zooplankton communities could cascade through the food web to affect other marine life, from forage fish to fish-eating seabirds to bottom-feeding walrus.
