Climate Change is Decimating Cod in Gulf of Maine

Climate Central: Climate change is expected to vastly reshape our food resources from the seed we sow to the fish we catch in the sea. In the case of cod in the Gulf of Maine, those impacts could be happening here and now, according to new findings. The research, published on Thursday in Science, shows that waters in the region have recently warmed at an unprecedented rate. Fisheries management has not been able to keep up with the warming, resulting in cod stocks that are at just 3 to 4 percent of sustainable...
Water too warm for cod in U.S. Gulf of Maine; stock near collapse

Reuters: A rapid warming of the Gulf of Maine off the eastern United States has made the water too hot for cod, pushing stocks toward collapse despite deep reductions in the number of fish caught, a U.S. study showed on Thursday. The Gulf of Maine had warmed faster than 99 percent of the rest of the world's oceans in the past decade, influenced by shifts in the Atlantic Gulf Stream, changes in the Pacific Ocean and a wider trend of climate change, it said. Scientists said the findings showed a need...
Cods Continuing Decline Linked to Warming Gulf of Maine Waters

New York Times: Rapid warming in the Gulf of Maine contributed to the collapse of cod fishing in New England, and might help explain why the cod population has failed to recover, even though fishing has largely ceased, according to a new study. A team of marine scientists found that rising temperatures in the gulf decreased reproduction and increased mortality among the once-plentiful Atlantic cod, adding to the toll of many decades of overfishing. Fisheries managers have tried to reverse the cods decline in...

Mayday: Gulf of Maine in Destress

Portland Press Herald: Sandwiched on a narrow sandbar between Yarmouths harbor and the open Gulf of Maine, the fishermen of Yarmouth Bar have long struggled to keep the sea at bay. Nineteenth-century storms threatened to sweep the whole place away, leaving Yarmouth propers harbor more open to the elements, prompting the province to build a granite cribwork across the quarter-mile bar, behind which the hamlets fishing fleet docks. Global warming has brought rising seas, a two-story-high rock wall to fight them and...
