In Alaska, paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is caused by toxins (PSTs) produced by the microscopic marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella. PSP is usually associated with consumption of toxin-containing bivalves, but PSTs can also be present in other biota during Alexandrium blooms, including

The Arctic is warming significantly faster than the rest of the planet, with consequences for communities and ecosystems in Alaska and the global climate system. Arctic Indigenous Peoples and other northern residents are on the front lines of climate change, and all Americans are affected by Arctic
