There's some flat out emaciated bears at Brooks Falls, wondering where the fish went. Costco is well-stocked with sockeye. It's just wrong.

Sunset in Alaska is about 10:30 pm.

'Things like rising ocean temperatures, overfishing, all of these things that are going to affect our marine life, are going to affect bears like Otis and all of the bears at Katmai National Park pretty directly,' Rusch said.

What makes the situation more critical is that Alaska's Bristol Bay is the world's last sockeye salmon run for bears like Otis, Rusch said, which she said makes it crucial to take action to conserve it. As ocean waters warm, less and less salmon are returning to open sea, which means there are fewer available to feed animals and humans. Those that do return to high sea are dying as marine heat waves driven by climate change continue to alter their ecosystem.
