Marine Wildlife and Fish

Many different species of whales can be seen off the coast of Alaska.

Sea otters populations are expanding after their decline decades ago due to the fur trade.

Sea lions and seals use icebergs from calving tidewater glaciers for pupping and resting.

Sea stars, crabs, mussels, clams, and many more are some of the interesting invertebrates found in marine ecosystems.

Seabirds and shorebirds are some of the most abundant wildlife in marine and coastal areas.

Fish are important components of both marine and freshwater ecosystems.
