The condition has devastated lobster fisheries in southern New England, and now the Maine lobster industry may be at risk, too. A new Cornell University study conducted in 2015 suggests that warming ocean temperatures are largely responsible for this epidemic. Cornell researchers have published two studies detailing how diverse...

The agency says that the spill occurred in a 2-foot section of pipe after pumps were shut down and restarted. The volume of oil moving through the pipe surged, and pressure increased when the pump was restarted. The report notes...
