When I was in St. John's, I was talking to fishers who couldn't get their boats out into the North Atlantic, they said, because there was so much ice coming down. The melting ice was affecting the fishery. We know that last June the water temperature in the North Atlantic was 1.36°C above average. That was really staggering.
We now have a new study that the gulf stream is at its weakest in 1,600 years. In an El Niño year, they worry about a tipping point.
What does that mean for the ability of our fishing industry if they're going up against those odds of a changing climate in the ocean?
