Summary:
- Maine's lobster industry is facing significant challenges due to the warming of the Gulf of Maine, which is warming faster than 99% of the world's oceans.
- The warming waters are causing lobsters to move further north, away from the traditional lobster fishing grounds, leading to a decline in lobster catches and threatening the livelihoods of Maine's lobster fishermen.
- Climate change is the primary driver of the warming in the Gulf of Maine, and scientists warn that unless action is taken to address climate change, the future of Maine's iconic lobster industry may be in jeopardy.
