National Science Foundation Is a government agency that posts information on every aspect of science. This page includes multiple areas including physics, new discoverers, field work, space, environment and much more. If new in formation is found it has to be posted on this web sit. This website has been created by the government to in form the public what is going on in the science world in America. The sit was last updated in 2006 which means that no major news has been discovered.
The sit is very easy to use, its simple. On the side there are links that rang from Information from the field to anything about physics. The site sections information into general areas that makes it easy to funnel out information that doesn't have to do with your topic. Every topic has credibal information in it and it is easy to understand and fallow. There are also pictures on your topic to make it easier to understand. Also there is a search bar at the top of the page that allows you to type in your topics and all related info will show up, is it is included in the site. the blog is well written and is full of sensible information that applied to my topic. The page was easy to read and looks good.

Current Events
Many people know, or don't believe, that the world is under going a change in the environment. Areas all over the world are under going changes that are out of the norm or opposite to that of the normal ecosystem. With the shift in the ecosystem it effects everything from the water to the land, and all the animals and plants the are inhabited there.
This is directly tainting the ecology of bodies of water around the world. The change that is happening is that the world is heating up and effecting the waters that including the fertile Bering Sea,m and the crab that reside there. "Those highly productive waters currently act as sponges for carbon dioxide, absorbing quantities of the gas that otherwise would remain in the atmosphere where it would be expected to contribute to warming. But, the researchers say, if the biological trends they observe in the northern Bering Sea persist and are not reversible, the accompanying shift in species and ecosystem structure could have important implications for the role of the sea as a "carbon sink."Whats happening to the sea is because the water is warmer there is less ice cover over the sea."
Because the sea is heating up the sea ice isn't freezing over solid. " In the northern Bering Sea, ecological changes are occurring in the context of shifts in the quality of the sea ice. The ice there is broken and thin compared with ice floes that were more the norm." The less ice there is in the Bering sea the less crab are going to be in that area. The crab enjoy and need the frozen water to live. If this continues crab fishing as a industry may be terminated but to climate change.
