Discover Oceans and Seas, Chukchi Sea

The Chukchi Sea is a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean, located between the Chukotka Peninsula in Russia to the west and the Wrangel Island in the east.

It is a shallow sea, covering an area of over 1.5 million square kilometers and depth of approximately 150 meters.

The Chukchi Sea is a rich source of biodiversity, with fish, seals, walruses, and whales, as well as a variety of birds.

The sea is an important source of fish for the local economy, with pollock, herring, and cod being the most important species.

The sea is also home to several endangered species, including the bowhead whale, Steller's sea cow and walrus.

Recreational activities such as fishing, sightseeing, and whale watching are popular in the Chukchi Sea.

Unfortunately, the Chukchi Sea has been threatened by pollution and overfishing, leading to a decrease in fish stocks.
