Research looks at reliance on clams by brown bears at Lake Clark and Katmai national parks/NPS

This fourth installment in the series on the Changing Tides Project looks at the field work involved in collecting clams.  The Changing Tides Project is a three-year study examining the link between the marine and terrestrial environments, specifically between coastal brown bears, clams, mussels, and people. 

It takes place in both Katmai and Lake Clark national parks and is a cooperative of the National park Service, U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska SeaLife Center, and Washington State University.
