We are seeing definitely more aggressive frequent coastal storms, notably hurricane Fiona, which not only destroyed wharves and vessels but also swept harmful materials like insulation and oil tanks into the water, which will likely impact recruitment rates for some marine species well into the future. There's an immediate need for improved coastal infrastructure.
We see changing temperatures. This is affecting the life cycles of certain species. They're being disrupted. We're seeing an increased prevalence of albino, blue and orange lobsters, which indicates changes in their moulting cycle. Many species are moving into deeper patterns of water, instinctively seeking out colder temperatures.
Yes, the changes we're seeing now are rampant.
