Ecosystems and Communities

Part of the role of an ecologist is to study and make note of the many relationships between organisms in an ecosystem. Take a few moments to view the video Steve MacLean: Conservationist to learn more about how he studies ecology. In this video, you will explore how Steve MacLean works to preserve the health of the Bering Sea ecosystem. As you view the video, consider how the work of MacLean is similar to that of other biologists and how it is different.
