This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award will support the continued implementation of the Bering Sea Sub-Network (BSSN), a regional initiative of community-based organizations in Western Alaska and Northeast Russia. The "Intellectual Merit" of BSSN lies in its operation as a distributed network which employs people as individual, coordinated sensors for local environmental observations of socio-ecological change. BSSN will address the following questions: (1) how have economically significant species changed over the past century and what strategies have residents used to cope with these changes; (2) what key biophysical variables and indicators may be correlated to changes in distribution and properties of ecologically significant species; (3) how well do indigenous and traditional knowledge and Western science show spatial/temporal convergence and statistical correlation at local and regional scales; and (4) what are the major trends, patterns and constraints in individual and community adaptation to changes? The "Broader Impacts" of this award include a better understanding of Arctic environmental system change and resilience, and how to develop appropriate adaptation strategies to change for Arctic communities. BSSN will leave a legacy for a broad community of arctic residents striving to organize an observing system that is a valid partner in pan-Arctic environmental system observations. A key product will be a widely disseminated and highly accessible publication entitled The State of the Bering Sea Bioresources: Perspectives of Local Residents, an assessment based on observations of local and indigenous observers. Other products will include a tool kit for communities to develop their own observing programs based on the framework of BSSN, and an annual illustrated magazine aimed at the village and regional levels.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公共法第111-5号）资助的。该奖项将支持持续实施白令海上子网络（BSSN），这是阿拉斯加西部和俄罗斯东北部社区组织的区域倡议。 BSSN的“智力优点”在于其作为一个分布式网络的运作，该网络将人们用作个人，协调的传感器来对社会生态变革的当地环境观察。 BSSN将解决以下问题：（1）在过去的一个世纪中，经济上有意义的物种发生变化以及居民使用哪些策略来应对这些变化； （2）哪些关键的生物物理变量和指标可能与生态意义的物种的分布和特性变化有关； （3）土著和传统知识以及西方科学表现出在本地和区域尺度上的空间/时间收敛和统计相关性； （4）个人和社区适应变化的主要趋势，模式和约束是什么？该奖项的“更广泛的影响”包括更好地理解北极环境系统的变化和韧性，以及如何制定适当的适应策略来为北极社区变革。 BSSN将为一个广泛的北极居民留下遗产，以组织一个观察系统，该系统是泛亚北极环境系统观察的有效合作伙伴。关键产品将是一个广泛传播且高度访问的出版物，标题为“白令海生物的状态：当地居民的观点”，这是基于对当地和土著观察者的观察的评估。其他产品将包括一个供社区的工具包，以根据BSSN的框架开发自己的观察计划，以及针对村庄和地区级别的年度插图杂志。
