Climb aboard fishing boats across the United States to see impact of climate change | USA TODAY



The men and women who fish commercially off the shores of the United States have long battled the ocean, unexpected storms and the fickle nature of a quarry that can simply swim away.

But scientists say climate change is rapidly complicating those existing challenges. It helps supercharge storms, heats the water, kills some species and prompts others to flee to colder waters.

USA TODAY has partnered with the Pulitzer Center to document how warmer oceans, heavier rains and shifting deep-sea currents affect all four corners of the nation: Maine, Florida, Southern California and Alaska. Journalists traveled aboard fishing boats and talked with the people who depend on the sea for their livelihood โ€” people familiar with the ocean’s rhythms, now confronted with rapid, confounding and at times catastrophic changes.

  2. We seriously need to put tariffs on all seafood imported from anywhere besides Canada and Mexico. Support your local fisherman, don't buy farmed shit………….

  3. The lobster ๐Ÿฆž captain is very cute ๐Ÿฅฐ I would work on her boat for free๐Ÿ˜

  4. Yeah, I NEVER buy Imported Shrimp.. They are fed human waste and other non edible substances, especially the ones from china, India, and those eastern orient countries that are in poverty.
    Farm/Pond raised are the WORST for you.. Help OUR fisherman, buy USA products, save Your Health and our Fishermen/Women..

  8. The Bible Says The Holy Spirit Will Reveal All Truth To Us and Is Our Teacher.

  11. At Age 15 1960 I Received and Many Times After That, That I Am The Generation That Shall Not Pass Until All These Things Shall Be Forfilled, 18 Years Later I Was Taught The Complete Bible and Bible Prophecy, Then I Understood The Message, May 15 1948 When Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Became A Nation Again Is The Generation That Shall Not Pass Until All These Things Shall Be Forfilled, Can't Be Much Longer Not Many Of My Generation Left, Plus The Signs Of The Last Days Are Everywhere, Especially Right Now, The Birth Pangs Are Getting Closer and Closer Together Now and More Intense, The Bible Says Like A Mother In Labor and The Pains Get Closer and More Intense Until The Baby Comes
    In Our Case, JESUS IS COMING.

  12. Bible Prophecy Is Unfolding Before Our Very Eyes, The Middle East Has Everything To Do With Bible Prophecy, Israel / Jerusalem. etc.

  13. A Few Years Ago I Received Famine Was Coming To America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ When Things Are Great People Don't Believe It and Around The Same Time I Received Devastation Will Get To Be So Bad That There Will Be No Recovery.

  14. The Bible Says God Is Longsuffering and Doesn't Want Anyone To Perish, EVERYTHING That People Put Ahead of God Shut Down, Which Gave EVERYONE A Chance To Seek God and Change, The First Commandment Is I Am The Lord Thy God, You Shall Not Have Any Other Gods Before Me, Which Is ANYTHING That You Put BEFORE GOD.

  15. 35 Years Ago I Had A Dream, Was Heavy On My Mind Upon Awakening and Never Has Left Me, I Am Not A Regular Dreamer, I Felt It Meant Something, Actually I Felt It Was From God, Dream Was One of My Daughters and I Were Running Up A Hill and There Were Missiles All Around Us, Upon Awakening I Thought That Could Never Happen Here, Not In America, Well We Know Now, Especially Right Now With Everything Happening, It Could Very Well Happen Here In America.

  16. It's called overfishing is affecting the oceans species not climate change.

  17. It's not climate change its the WEF and world governments dumping radiation and chemicals all in the ocean๐Ÿ˜‚

  18. The Bible Says God Does Nothing Without First Warning The People, When I Received This Message I Didn't Know This Yet, September 1978 I Was Talking To God At My Home and I Said, You Are Not Like You Used To Be, Years Ago You Spoke To Your People, Now You Are Just Far Out There Somewhere, and I Received, TELL EVERYONE THAT YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH THAT I AM READY TO POUR OUT MY WRATH BUT IT IS TIME IF YOU WILL TURN BACK TO ME
    The Word WRATH Was Not In My Vocabulary, With Modern Technology I Have Been Able To Get The Message Out The Past Several Years, Which I Believe Was For Such A Time As This.
