Fish will have to find new habitats or perish if global warming is left unchecked Climate change is forcing fish out of their current habitats and into cooler waters and…
A report entitled “Predicting Future Oceans: Climate Change, Oceans & Fisheries” newly released by the Nereus program, an international interdisciplinary research program aimed at predicting future oceans, suggests that future seafood supply in the world will be substantially altered by climate change, overfishing and habitat destruction if we do not take actions.
Rebecca Asch knew that climate change was affecting seasonal patterns in the ocean. But she also knew it would be difficult to prove. After all, it’s more obvious on land….
