Alaska’s fisheries management strategy may forestall climate-driven fishery declines, providing a critical window for fisheries and communities to prepare and adapt to change.
Caught in an Atlantic hurricane, satellite-tagged loggerhead turtles changed their dive behavior and movement patterns as the storm passed. The tags also recorded changes in the environment.
Scientists will conduct a 3-year project using 60+ years of field observations to improve biological, oceanographic, and climate models to help resource managers and fishermen better plan for the future.
A decade of acoustic data reveals changes in distribution in four species of baleen whales since 2010. Warming ocean waters and shifting prey could be among the reasons.
Blending science and education has taken oceanographer James Manning’s career in unexpected new directions. It’s all about collecting data needed for numerical ocean models and sharing it.
A new study projects that climate change will pose management challenges for two commercially important species — American lobster and sea scallop — as suitable habitats move farther north.
