Today's @IPCC_CH report describes climate change in our oceans. #Alaska fishermen deserve their say, too: “The environment’s changing. Undoubtedly.” Hear more stories about #climatechange from commercial fishermen in #Alaska: bit.ly/2nedxJP

This week we’re taking an up close look at #Alaska's fab estuaries. To understand what estuaries do for us, we might flip the question and ask ‘What happens when they’re gone?’ A recent report from @OPB helps with answers. bit.ly/30m9JUB

What’s an estuary? In #Alaska they come in all shapes and sizes – and they nurture the fish and animals Alaska loves. In this Q & A, discover how a harsh place actually can life, why we like to live in estuaries -- & where the bears are. #springerlink bit.ly/2LSARFu

Alaska's oceans are growing more acidic, exposing fish, shellfish + other #marine life to new risks. But #research by @uafairbanks and #citizenscientists is helping to advance our knowledge of the biological impacts of #oceanacidification. Watch the video: bit.ly/2ZhtRvu
