CLIMATE CHANGE - Consequences in Gulf of Maine

"What rising temperatures in the Gulf of Maine mean for the state’s lobster industry" PBS NewsHour 9/18/2019

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The Gulf of Maine is known for lobsters, which form the foundation of an industry critical to the state’s economy.  Due to climate change, the waters off southern New England have become too warm for the temperature-sensitive crustaceans, leaving Maine as the “sweet spot” for fishing them.  But the Gulf’s own rising temperatures mean the lobster boom may not last forever.  Miles O’Brien reports.
