Gulf of Maine fishermen face warming 'double whammy'
2016-01-14 14:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: After David Goethel set out on his 44-foot trawler on a calm New England day last week, he caught a third of his cod quota for the year in about 10 minutes. In 2010, Goethel was allowed to land about 60,000 pounds of cod. This year, following a population crash linked to warming waters, his limit was set at a meager 3,700 pounds. Oceans are sucking down most of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases, but the rate of warming has been especially high during the last decade in the Gulf of Maine, which...

Water too warm for cod in US Gulf of Maine as stocks near collapse
2015-10-29 23:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: A rapid warming of the Gulf of Maine off the eastern United States has made the water too warm for cod, pushing stocks towards collapse despite deep reductions in the number of fish caught, a US study has shown. The Gulf of Maine had warmed faster than 99% of the rest of the worlds 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 to take more account...
