07: Disappearing Highways in the Ice: What Access to Walrus Means for People

By Alex Shahbazi | 7 March 2024

Nature and people are connected in myriad different ways. In the western Arctic, one of those connections is between sea ice, marine mammals, and communities’ persistence. Join us for this special episode of Out of the Arctic where we play the role of a fly on the wall for a conversation between SEARCH researchers. We will hear from Bryan Rookok, Jr. (Native Village of Savoonga), Brendan Kelly (Science Director), George Kling (Chief Editor), and Athena Copenhaver (Executive Director) as we learn why access to walrus is of vital importance to the people of St. Lawrence Island and others throughout the Arctic.
