[font size=4]Global warming, ocean warming and the cod collapse in the Gulf of Maine. We’ll get the latest on climate change and the seas.[/font]

[font size=3]Warm the planet and you warm the oceans. Warm the oceans, and things change. First of all for sea life. Sometimes so fast it’s hard for humans to keep up. Last week a report in the journal Science looked at the collapse of cod and cod fishing in the Gulf of Maine. It fell so quickly and did not recover, we learn, because the Gulf of Maine was on a huge warming spike. Cod didn’t like it, and they were fished out. There are versions of this story – with different species, different addresses – all over the world. This hou On Point, a fish story out of Maine, and the global ocean impact of climate change.

4. That was a great segment!

I heard the whole segment. I was flat out shocked when one the guests stated that black sea bass were being caught in the supposedly deep and cold waters of the Gulf of Maine. Black sea bass usually don't show up until late in the summer, that's usually on the south side of Cape Cod, in places like Buzzards Bay. But to find them out in the deep water where cod and haddock used to live is shocking.
