A new paper by a number of scientists formerly with NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center suggests that there will be drastic changes in fisheries and the ports that depend on them during the next 60 to 80 years.
Sea temperatures in the Gulf of Maine have warmed faster than 99% of the worlds oceans over the past decade.
The scientists applied a new more sophisticated global warming model to project habitat availability for 53 species using a 10 KM grid. This is far more accurate than previous studies that have estimated changes using 100 kilometer grids...
