Bering Strait

The Bering Strait, a waterway between the United States and Russia, is a marine wildlife "super highway" that supports amazing animals, from beluga whales to spectacled eiders and king salmon.

WWF has five recommended actions that the United States should take to protect the Bering Strait.
