Description: |
The first multispecies assessment of just how vulnerable U.S. marine fish and invertebrate species are to the effects of climate change has been released. The study examined 82 species that occur off the Northeastern U.S., where ocean warming is occurring rapidly. Researchers found that most species evaluated will be affected, and that some are likely to be more resilient to changing ocean conditions than others.
