Yes, in the southern end of the range of the species, right down to Cape Cod, they are really not doing well at all. They are really struggling to persist down there. As I mentioned, there could be many reasons. Grey seals have been implicated, but also climate change and warming. That's the southern end of the range of the species, where the waters in the Gulf of Maine and that area have become extremely warm and simply may be unfavourable for cod.
