Vanishing Cod, Climate Change And Our Warming Oceans (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Warm the planet and you warm the oceans. Warm the oceans, and things change. First of all for sea life. Sometimes so fast it’s hard for humans to keep up. Last week a report in the journal Science looked at the collapse of cod and cod fishing in the Gulf of Maine. It fell so quickly and did not recover, we learn, because the Gulf of Maine was on a huge warming spike. Cod didn’t like it, and they were fished out. There are versions of this story – with different species, different addresses – all over the world. This hou On Point, a fish story out of Maine, and the global ocean impact of climate change. — Tom Ashbrook
