Northeast ocean temps reach record high in first half of 2012
NOAA reports average sea surface temperature on the Northeast continental shelf from North Carolina to Canada was 50.5 degrees January through June 2012, the highest for the period since records began. Warmer waters push cod and other fisheries north, affect spawning, and create climate winners and losers for marine life.
