New England's Fishermen and the Challenges of Climate ChangeNew England’s coastal waters are warming faster than 90% of the rest of the world’s oceans. We look at fishermen as an indicator species, on the leading edge of that change, forced to adapt. Fishermen are engaged in new collaborations with scientists to understand climate change; in some cases they've switched to fishing entirely new species; and for some fishermen, adapting has meant moving out of the marine fisheries into aquaculture—but even that industry is proving vulnerable to environmental threats.
