Ocean ecosystems are in trouble all over the world, and the Bering Sea, source of half the seafood caught in the US, is no exception. The explosive growth of Alaska’s pollock fishery since the 1960s has been followed by major declines of the marine mammals that depend on pollock, including endangered steller sea lions, northern fur seals, and pacific harbor seals. Steller sea lion populations have dropped by almost 90%. People are suffering, too. Fishermen are traveling farther and farther offshore looking for fish and crab that were once plentiful right off the beach, facing increasing risks for diminishing returns.
Take Action!
Greenpeace is in the Bering Sea right now, conducting research and working with native communities to protect the ecosytems of the Bering. The Bering Sea is home to some of the largest submarine canyons in the world, unseen by human eyes and thought to be home to undiscovered creatures found nowhere else on earth. Greenpeace is exploring these canyon habitats with manned deep-sea submersibles as part of our effort to make a strong case for conservation of these threatened areas.
Alaska's billion-dollar fishing industry is one of the most closely monitored in the world, but the poster child of U.S. fisheries management is in serious need of attention. Fortunately, the situation in Alaska's waters is not as dire as it is elsewhere. It is not too late to protect Alaska’s ecosystems, fisheries, and communities, and you can help.
Help Save The Bering!

Anybody who is full of potential and wants to use it. I believe when we have talent we must make the full use of it. I like to introduce people, especially musicians to do projects together. I believe in cultures fusion.
Alternative rock, hip-hop, soul, classical (I'm classically trained, and play the violin, cello, guitar and celtic harp), and all the arabic/north african music - Algerian Rai all the african music. I love jazz, but especially if it's a fusion with world music.
Good movies from great directors - no bullshit!
I have no patience for TV, it's getting worse and worse each day.
I read a lot, so I like many writers, but my very favourites at the moment are Amin Maalouf and Tahar Ben Jelloun. And of course I love the poetry of the great Persian poet Omar Khayam.
All the Algerian people who died to save my life and my mum's during the war. They are an incredible people! And of course the people where I come from, the Native American. Those are my roots, ones from the blood and the heart and the others related to my childhood.
