Food Insecurity: Arctic Heat Is Threatening Indigenous Life, and How SeaShare is Helping

Posted on March 21, 2016

Canadian author and photographer Ed Struzik wrote a compelling piece this week in Yale University's Environment 360 Magazine about climate change and food insecurity in the Arctic. In the article, Struzik wrote of the decades-long trend of extreme Arctic warming, which has led to declining sea ice, and the difficulties these changes pose for subsistence hunting and fishing. In looking at the response to declining food sources, Struzik highlighted the work of SeaShare in donating 10,000 pounds of halibut to Gambell, Savoonga, Diomede, and Wales last year.
