Innocent?

Sometimes large ranges are blocked from changing Wikipedia for very bad cases of vandalism. This means that a lot of people may not be able to change pages.

Also, if you have a dynamic IP address, some dynamic IP addresses may already be blocked when they are assigned to you.

We are sorry for any problems this may cause.

The '''East Siberian Sea''' is a [[marginal sea]] in the [[Arctic Ocean]]. It is between the [[Arctic Cape]] to the north, the coast of [[Siberia]] to the south, the [[New Siberian Islands]] to the west and [[Cape Billings]], close to [[Chukchi Peninsula|Chukotka]], and [[Wrangel Island]] to the east. This sea borders on the [[Laptev Sea]] to the west and the [[Chukchi Sea]] to the east.

This sea is one of the least studied in the Arctic area. It has severe [[climate]], low water [[salinity]], and little flora, fauna and human population.  The depths are shallow (mostly less than 50 meters).  There are slow [[sea current]]s, low [[tide]]s (below 25&nbsp;cm) and frequent [[fog]]s, especially in summer.  The [[ice field]]s only fully melt in August–September. The sea shores were lived on for thousands of years by tribes of [[Yukaghirs]], [[Chukchi people|Chukchi]] and then [[Evens]] and [[Evenks]].

==Flora and fauna==
There are few [[flora]] and [[fauna]] due to the harsh climate. The summer [[plankton]] bloom is short.  It makes 5 million tons of plankton in August and September.  The yearly amount is 7 million tons.

The sea shores and icefields have [[ringed seal]]s, [[bearded seal]]s and [[walrus]]es along polar bears. Birds include seagulls, [[uria]] and [[cormorant]]s. Sea waters are often visited by [[bowhead whale]], [[gray whale]], [[beluga]] and [[narwhal]]. Major fish species are [[Grayling (genus)|grayling]] and ''[[Coregonus]]'' (whitefishes), such as [[muksun]], [[broad whitefish]] and [[omul]]. Also common are polar [[European smelt|smelt]], [[saffron cod]], [[polar cod]], [[flounder]] and [[arctic char]].<ref name=bse>[http://bse.sci-lib.com/article006835.html East Siberian Sea], [[Great Soviet Encyclopedia]] (in Russian)</ref><ref>[http://www.2mn.org/ru/mammals/e_siberian.htm Mammals of the East Siberian Sea] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315173413/http://www.2mn.org/ru/mammals/e_siberian.htm |date=2010-03-15 }} (in Russian)</ref>
