The Okhotsk Sea is a marginal sea located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It is bordered by Russia to the west and north, and Japan to the south. The sea covers an area of approximately 1.6 million square kilometers and is known for its rich marine biodiversity, including various fish species and marine mammals. The Okhotsk Sea is also significant for its natural resources, particularly fisheries and oil reserves. The sea experiences harsh weather conditions, especially in winter, when ice can cover large areas. It plays a crucial role in the regional climate and is important for shipping routes connecting Asia and North America.
