. The Eastern Bering Sea Shelf : oceanography and resources / edited by Donald W. Hood and John A. Calder . Figure 69-14. Quantitative distribution of the sea star As^er/as amurensis in the southeastern Bering Sea, 1975-76. The Bering Sea shelf is a multipurpose "commons" (Hardin 1968) shared by humans and large resident populations of marine organisms. Intelligent manage- ment of this commons is essential if the Bering Sea, one of the most productive marine systems in the world, is to remain productive. Data presented in this book and work currently in progress should enable fisheries scientists to make predictions con- cerning the future of the Bering Sea at its current level of exploitation. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study, Contribution No. 433, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, was supported under contract #03-5-022-56 between Howard M. Feder, the University of Alaska, and NOAA, Department of Commerce, through the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program, to which funds were provided by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior. Distribution-bio mass maps were made possible through the efforts of the data-processing staff of the Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, and particularly through the expertise of Cydney Hansen and Frank Sommer. Drafting was accom- plished by Ana Lea Vincent, Institute of Marine Science. Work on shipboard and in the laboratory by Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, personnel contributed to collection and analysis of much of the data presented here; we specifically acknowledge Karl Haflinger, Max Hoberg, Bill Kopplin, Kris McCumby, and Judy McDonald.
