August 2, 2021 — New research from Rutgers University has investigated community and fisher strategies for adapting to stocks changing as a result of ocean warming.
The paper, “Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost – Responses of Fishers’ Communities to Shifts in the Distribution and Abundance of Fish,” focused on the groundfish trawl fishery in Northeast U.S., an area that is already seeing warming temperatures and is considered a hotspot for the effects of global warming.
