Less. And as the edges move northward, the water becomes deeper. Bottom feeding walruses can't stay with the ice edge without starving. So they shift to the shorelines of Alaska and Canada. Now they have a miles long swim to their feeding grounds, the young face much greater odds of being trampled by adults and both in the water and on land, face predators they never faced on the ice edge they evolved to inhabit.
Got some witty repartee to save them?
Yea, they live in the Hudson Bay, where the sea ice is above average.
